Question

If kite cdef is dilated by a scale factor of 6 with a center of dilation at the origin, what is the area of kite c'd'e'f'?

a.36 units2b)54 units2eliminatec)108 units2d)216 units2

Answer 1

216 units squared

Explanation:

Answer 2

Because we are given with the linear scale factor of 6, we square this value in order to determine the ratio of the areas of the figures. Thus, the ratio of the areas is,
36:1
Therefore, the area of c'd'e'f' is equal to 36 times the area of cdef.
