If square LMNO is dilated by a scale factor of two about the center of the square to create square L'M'N'O', dilated line P'Q' will

Answer 1

If square LMNO is dilated by a scale factor of two about the center of the square to create square L'M'N'O', dilated line P'Q' will

A) be parallel to line PQ and pass through point N
B) contain the points P and Q
C) be perpendicular to line PQ and pass through point L
D) shift two units to the right

Answer 3

I think that the position of the line PQ will remain unchanged, since it passes at the center of the dialtion and it is perpendicular to both sides MN and LO

Answer 4

oh ok thxs @Michele_Laino

Answer 5

I repeat: under the hypothesis that the line PQ is perpendicular to both sides MN and LO

Answer 6

so the answer is c?

Answer 7

I think that it is not C. Please keep in mind that the position is the same

Answer 8

B?

Answer 9

yes! I think so!

Answer 10

we can view such line PQ as one symmetry axis of the square, and it will remain such, also after the dilation

Answer 11

ok :-)

Answer 12
