MEDAL + FAN!! Square RSTU is shown below with a line AB drawn through its center. If the square is dilated using a scale factor of one over four and a line is drawn through the center of the new dilated figure, what relationship will that line have with line AB in the drawing below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain to me why the line stays the same? its a short response question

Mehek (mehek14):

because the center of the rectangle stays the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats all?

Mehek (mehek14):

you need more?

Mehek (mehek14):

ok so put: when the image is dilated about the center, then the pre-image and its image will have the same center, and the new line will intersect line AB at that center.
