Question 5Multiple Choice Worth 1 points 0401 LC Triangle JK

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (04.01 LC) Triangle J\'K\'L\' shown on the grid below is a dilation of triangle JKL using the origin as the center of dilation: 14 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 89 10 1 12 13 14 Which scale factor was used to create triangle J\'K\'L\'?

Solution

Option (c) is correct

Since 1/3 is the corresponding parts are divided by three upon dilation

According to the diagram,

J:(6,12)-->(2,4)

K:(9,6)-->(3,2)

L: (12,9)-->(4,3)

Therefore 1/3 scalar factor is used to create a triangle
