Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Scale Factors and Dilations of Polygons (B) Worksheet | 8th Grade ...
- For Shape A with a scale factor of -1 from its center, the image is a congruent triangle located symmetrically opposite the center point, effectively a 180-degree rotation about the center.
- For Shape B with a scale factor of -1 from its center, the image is a congruent triangle located symmetrically opposite the center point, effectively a 180-degree rotation about the center.
- For Shape C with a scale factor of -2 from its center, the image is a triangle twice the size of the original, oriented in the opposite direction, with each vertex located twice as far from the center but on the opposite side.
- For Shape D with a scale factor of -2 from its center, the image is a parallelogram twice the size of the original, oriented in the opposite direction, with each vertex located twice as far from the center but on the opposite side.
- For Shape E with a scale factor of -1/2 from its center, the image is a triangle half the size of the original, oriented in the opposite direction, with each vertex located halfway to the center from its original position but on the opposite side.
- For Shape F with a scale factor of -1/2 from its center, the image is an arrow shape half the size of the original, oriented in the opposite direction, with each vertex located halfway to the center from its original position but on the opposite side.
