Transcript text: Dilation $D_{\mathrm{v} \cdot \frac{2}{3}}$ was performed on a rectangle. How does the image relate to the pre-image? Select three options.
The image is a reduction because $0
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the dilation factor
The dilation factor is $\frac{2}{5}$, which is between 0 and 1. This indicates a reduction.
Step 2: Determine the effect on side lengths
Since the dilation factor is $\frac{2}{5}$, the side lengths of the image are two-fifths the size of the corresponding side lengths of the pre-image.
Step 3: Determine the effect on angles
Dilations preserve angle measures. Therefore, the angles of the image are the same size as the angles of the pre-image, not two-fifths the size.
Final Answer: The correct options are:
The image is a reduction because $0 < n < 1$.
The side lengths of the image are two-fifths the size of the corresponding side lengths of the pre-image.
The base of the image is two-fifths the size of the base of the pre-image.
