Question

WILL FAN AND MEDAL!!!!!!

Isosceles trapezoid ABCD is constructed with line ZX drawn through its center. If the isosceles trapezoid is dilated using a scale factor of one over three and a line is drawn through the center of the new dilated figure, what relationship will the new line have with line ZX? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

Answer 1

Okay.

Essentially, what happens is that the line forms a new polygon, which should still be similar to the new polygon formed with the new (dilated) trapezoid, and should be just as proportional.

So from constantly just Assuming that it's a continuous line, it would stay the same. But if it's a line segment then it would also dilate with the figure. Essentially, what happens is that the line forms a new polygon, which should still be similar to the new polygon formed with the new (dilated) trapezoid, and should be just as proportional. the relationship between Segment ZX and and the line also would be It'd be scaled by the same scale factor.
