Question

Is it possible for polygon ABCDE to be dilated to figure VWXYZ? Explain yourreasoning.

Answer 1

In the given figures, ratio of all corresponding sides are

`(1)/(2)`

Except the ratio of AE and VZ

`\begin{gathered} (AE)/(VZ)=(10)/(12) \\ =(5)/(6) \\ \\e(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the polygon ABCDE can't be dilated to VWXYZ because ratio of corresponding sides are not equal.

So, the correct answer is (C)
