Question

determine a series of transformations that would map polygon abcde onto polygon abcd

Explanation:

Step1: Identify scaling factor

Compare heights: ABCDE height ≈ 3, A'B'C'D'E' height ≈ 9 → scale factor = 3.

Step2: Identify translation

ABCDE center near x=2; A'B'C'D'E' center near x=8 → translate right by 6 units.

Step3: Combine transformations

Scale ABCDE by 3, then translate right 6 units.

Answer:

Scale polygon ABCDE by a factor of 3, then translate the result 6 units to the right.
