The table shows the coordinates of the vertices of pentagon ABCDE.


Pentagon ABCDE is dilated by a scale factor of 7/3

with the origin as the center of dilation to create pentagon A′B′C′D′E′. If (x, y) represents the location of any point on pentagon ABCDE, which ordered pair represents the location of the corresponding point on pentagon A′B′C′D′E′?

Answer :

If (x, y) represents the location of any point on pentagon ABCDE, an ordered pair that represents the location of the corresponding point on pentagon A′B′C′D′E′ is: D. (x, y) → (7/3x, 7/3y).

What is scale factor?

In Geometry, a scale factor can be defined as the ratio of two corresponding side lengths or diameter in two similar geometric objects such as equilateral triangles, square, quadrilaterals, pentagons, polygons, etc., which can be used to either vertically or horizontally enlarge (increase) or reduce (compress) a function representing their size.

Generally speaking, the transformation rule for the dilation of a geometric object (pentagon) based on a specific scale factor of 7/3 is given by this mathematical expression:

(x, y) → (SFx, SFy)

Where:

  • x and y represents the data points.
  • SF represents the scale factor.

Therefore, the transformation rule for this dilation is given by;

(x, y) → (7/3x, 7/3y)
