What figure is a dilation of Figure A by a factor of 1/2 ? Note that the images are not necessarily drawn to scale. (The first file is the "question's" figure and the other 4 are possible answers.)





Answer:
See attachment
Step-by-step explanation:
The side length of figure A are:
[tex]4cm[/tex]
[tex]2cm[/tex]
[tex]3cm[/tex]
[tex]5cm[/tex]
When figure A is dilated by of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], the side lengths of figure A will be reduced by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The corresponding side lengths will be;
[tex]4cm\to \frac{1}{2}\times4=2cm[/tex]
[tex]2cm\to \frac{1}{2}\times2=1cm[/tex]
[tex]3cm\to \frac{1}{2}\times3=1\frac{1}{2}cm[/tex]
[tex]5cm\to \frac{1}{2}\times5=2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The correct choice is shown in the attachment;
