a it says can you tell me why??

Answer:

A. Enlargement

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Quadrilateral ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of [tex]2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex].

Now, we know that,

Dilation changes the size of the figure by the scale factor 'k'.

If 'k' > 1, then the dilated figure is enlarged in size.

If 0 < 'k' < 1, then the dilated figure is reduced in size.

Since, the given scale factor is [tex]\frac{5}{2}=2.5>1[/tex].

So, the quadrilateral ABCD is enlarged in size.

Hence, option A is correct.
