Part A: The scale factor of the dilation that transforms Triangle PQR to Triangle P'Q'R' is 1/4
Part B:
P''(-1, 0)
Q''(0, -1)
R''(2, -1)
Part C:
The two Triangles PQR and P''Q''R'' are not congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of triangle PQR are;
P(4, 0)
Q(0, 4)
R(-8, -4)
The coordinates of triangle P'Q'R' are;
P'(1, 0)
Q'(0, -1)
R'(-2, -1)
Part A:
The scale factor of the dilation that transforms Triangle PQR to Triangle P'Q'R' can be found from the ratio of the respective coordinates as follows;
The ratio of the x, and y coordinates of the points are;
P'/P = x'/x = 1/4, y'/y =0/0
R'/R = x'/x = -2/-8 = 1/4, y'/y =-1/-4 = 1/4
Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation that transforms Triangle PQR to Triangle P'Q'R' = 1/4
Part B: For reflection across the y-axis, we have;
Pre-image (x, y) becomes the image, (-x, y)
Therefore, we have;
Reflection of P'(1, 0) about the y-xis becomes P''(-1, 0)
Reflection of Q'(0, -1) about the y-xis becomes Q''(0, -1)
Reflection of R'(-2, -1) about the y-xis becomes R''(2, -1)
Part C:
The two Triangles PQR and P''Q''R'' are similar but they are not congruent as the dimensions of PQR are larger than the dimensions of the sides of triangle P''Q''R''.
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Under a reflection in the line y = x
a point (x, y ) → (y, x ), thus
J(0, - 3 ) → J'(- 3, 0 )
K(- 1, 0 ) → K'(0, - 1 )
L(- 2, - 1 ) → L'(- 1, - 2 )
a) It is dilated by a factor of 1/4
b) P"(-1, 0), Q"(0, -1), R"(2, -1)
c) They are not congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle PQR has verticals P(4,0) Q(0,-4) R(-8,-4). Triangle P'Q'R' has verticals P'(1,0) Q'(0,-1) and R'(-2,-1)
Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, rotation, dilation and translation.
Dilation is the reduction or enlargement of an object. If a point X(x, y) is dilated by a factor of k ,the new location is X'(kx, ky).
If a point X(x, y) is reflected about the y-axis, the new location is X'(-x, y)
a) Triangle PQR has verticals P(4,0) Q(0,-4) R(-8,-4) is dilated by a factor of 1/4, the new location would be P'(1,0) Q'(0,-1) and R'(-2,-1).
b) If triangle P'Q'R' is reflected about the y axis, the new location is P"(-1, 0), Q"(0, -1), R"(2, -1)
C) Two triangles are congruent if they have the same sides and angle. Triangle PQR and triangle P"Q"R" are not congruent because triangle PQR is smaller than triangle P"Q"R"
