6 if a building is 105 meters tall and you want to create a scale drawing using a scale factor of 0.1, what will be the height of the building in the scale drawing?
a 8 meters
b 5 meters
c 12 meters
d 10 meters
7 what remains unchanged in a figure after a dilation?
a the area of the figure
b the position of the figure
c the size of the figure
d the shape and angle measures of the figure

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze question 1

The center of dilation is a fixed point from which all distances are scaled.

Step2: Analyze question 2

For a dilation with center \((0,0)\) and scale factor \(k = 0.5\), the formula for a point \((x,y)\) is \((kx,ky)\).
For \((1,2)\): \((0.5\times1,0.5\times2)=(0.5,1)\)
For \((1,5)\): \((0.5\times1,0.5\times5)=(0.5,2.5)\)
For \((4,5)\): \((0.5\times4,0.5\times5)=(2,2.5)\)
For \((4,2)\): \((0.5\times4,0.5\times2)=(2,1)\)

Step3: Analyze question 3

The formula for dilating a point \((x,y)\) with center at the origin and scale factor \(k\) is \((x,y)\to(kx,ky)\)

Step4: Analyze question 4

All circles can be mapped onto one another using dilations (to adjust size) and translations (to adjust position), so they are similar.

Step5: Analyze question 5

If \(1\ cm = 400\ m\), then for \(4.5\ cm\), the actual length is \(4.5\times400 = 1800\ m\)

Step6: Analyze question 6

If the scale factor is \(0.1\), for a \(105\) - meter - tall building, the height in the scale drawing is \(105\times0.1=10.5\) (This seems to have an error in options, but if we assume a typo and scale factor \(0.1\) for \(105\) meters, maybe intended \(10.5\) is closest to no correct option shown. But if we assume scale factor \(0.1\) for \(50\) (typo in problem?), no. Wait, if building is \(50\) meters (typo) and scale factor \(0.1\), then \(50\times0.1 = 5\) meters.

Step7: Analyze question 7

After a dilation, the shape and angle measures of the figure remain unchanged.

Answer:

1. b
2. a
3. b
4. c
5. b (assuming \(4.5\times400 = 1800\), closest to \(1800\) is \(1800\) which may be a typo as \(1800\) vs options. If \(4\ cm\), \(4\times400=1600\), but if \(4.5\ cm\), \(4.5\times400 = 1800\). Maybe options have typo. But following calculation \(4.5\times400=1800\) which is not exactly matching. If we assume \(4\ cm\) (typo in problem), \(4\times400 = 1600\) not here. If \(2.5\ cm\), \(2.5\times400=1000\) no. Wait, \(1\ cm:400\ m\), \(4.5\ cm\): \(4.5\times400=1800\). If options: a. \(2000\) (no), b. \(1800\) (if typo as \(1800\) vs \(1600\) etc. Maybe intended \(1800\) as \(4.5\times400\)), c. \(2200\) (no), d. \(1600\) (no). So b.
6. b (assuming building height \(50\) meters (typo) and scale factor \(0.1\): \(50\times0.1 = 5\))
7. d
