Question

Quadrilateral MNPQ has side lengths of 15mm, 24mm, 21mm, and 18mm. Quadrilateral M'N'P'Q has side lengths of 5mm, 8mm, 7mm and 4mm

is this a dilation or not?

Answer 1

The correct answer for this question is this one:

" Quadrilateral MNPQ has the following sides: 15, 24, 21, 18. The other quadrilateral has the following sides: 5, 8, 7, 4. By looking at it, the length of the sides became small. So the answer is not dilation."

By definition of dilation, it is the action or condition of becoming or being made wider, larger, or more open.
