Question

which figure is a dilation of figure a with the center of dilation at point e? figure b figure c figure d

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation definition

Dilation preserves shape (similar figures) with center E; lines from E to corresponding vertices of A and the dilated figure are collinear.

Step2: Check collinearity

For figure D, lines connecting E to each vertex of A extend to corresponding vertices of D, maintaining proportional distances. Figures B/C lack this collinearity.

Answer:

figure D
