Question

problem 9 isaiah claims that figure bcd is a dilation of figure bcd using point a as the center of dilation. is isaiahs claim correct? yes no

Explanation:

Step1: Recall dilation property

In a dilation with center \(A\), the ratios of the distances from \(A\) to corresponding points should be equal. That is, \(\frac{AB'}{AB}=\frac{AC'}{AC}=\frac{AD'}{AD}\).

Step2: Check visually

Visually, if we draw lines from \(A\) to the corresponding points \(B,B'\); \(C,C'\); \(D,D'\), we can see that the lines do not seem to be in proportion. Also, the orientation of the figures is not consistent with a dilation from a single - point center \(A\).

Answer:

No
