The lengths of the sides of quadrilateral EFGH are as follows: EF = 12 cm, FG = 6 cm, GH = 9 cm, and EH
- 9 cm. If EFGH - MNOP and NO = 7.5 cm, which statement about the side lengths of quadrilateral MNOP
is true?
MN = 12 cm because the scale factor for dilating quadrilateral EFGH is 1.
MP = OP = 7.2 cm because the scale factor for dilating quadrilateral EFGH is
UA
5
HMN = 13.5 cm because the scale factor for dilating quadrilateral EFGH adds 1.5 cm to EF.
MP = OP = 11.25 cm because the scale factor for dilating quadrilateral EFGH is 1.25.

Respuesta :

The true statement about the side lengths of quadrilateral MNOP is (d) MP = OP = 11.25 cm because the scale factor for dilating quadrilateral EFGH is 1.25.

The side lengths of EFGH are given as:

[tex]EF = 12\ cm[/tex]

[tex]FG = 6\ cm[/tex]

[tex]GH = 9\ cm[/tex]

[tex]EH = 9\ cm[/tex]

Length NO is also given as:

[tex]NO = 7.5\ cm[/tex]

Because both quadrilaterals are similar, then side NO corresponds to side FG.

The scale factor (k) from EFGH to MNOP is then calculated as:

[tex]k = \frac{NO}{FG}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{7.5}{6}[/tex]

[tex]k = 1.25[/tex]

The side lengths of MNOP are then calculated using:

[tex]MN = 12cm \times 1.25[/tex]

[tex]MN = 15\ cm[/tex]

[tex]OP = 9cm \times 1.25[/tex]

[tex]O P = 11. 25 cm[/tex]

Also,

[tex]MP = 11. 25 cm[/tex]

So, the true statement is (d)
