Question

Which figure could be the result of dilating the trapezoid with a scale factor between 0 and 1? On a coordinate plane, a trapezoid has points (0, 0), (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 0). On a coordinate plane, a trapezoid has points (0, 0), (1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 0). On a coordinate plane, a trapezoid has points (0, 0), (1.5, 6), (4.5, 6), (6, 0). On a coordinate plane, a trapezoid has points (0, 0), (2, 9), (5, 9), (6.5, 0). On a coordinate plane, a trapezoid has points (0, 0), (0.5, 2), (1, 2), (1.5, 0).

Explanation:

Answer 2

On a coordinate plane, a trapezoid has points (0, 0), (0.5, 2), (1, 2), (1.5, 0).

Explanation:

If a trapezoid is dilated with a scale factor between 0 and 1, the resulting trapezoid will look smaller than the original trapezoid.

Since the figure is missing, we can examine the coordinates.

By analyzing the coordinates critically, the correct choice is :

On a coordinate plane, a trapezoid has points (0, 0), (0.5, 2), (1, 2), (1.5, 0).

Because when we compare to the original figure with coordinates:

(0, 0), (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 0), we can see that, the coordinates of the original figure were multiplied by
`(`1)/(2)` .

The scale factor is
`k=(`1)/(2)` and this is between 0 and 1
