Question

The absolute value of the dilation factor is the ratio of each side length of the dilated quadrilateral to the corresponding side length of the preimage. How does the ratio of the perimeters in parts B and D compare with the ratio of corresponding side lengths

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

perimeter ratio = dilation factor

Explanation:

In general, all linear dimensions are scaled by the dilation factor. This includes lengths of sides, perimeter, circumference, diameter, radius, or any other 1-dimensional (length) measure of a figure.

The ratio of perimeters is equal to the ratio of side lengths.
