Question

deshawn uses a kite in a shadow play. the distance between the kite and the screen changes. when the distance changes, the shadow represented by figure hijk forms figure hijk. complete each statement. figure hijk a dilation of figure hijk. the figures similar.

Explanation:

Step 1: Recall the definition of dilation

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape. The corresponding angles of the original figure and the dilated figure are equal, and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

Step 2: Analyze the given figures

Since the problem is about a shadow play (which is a dilation - like transformation where the shape remains the same but the size changes). When a figure is dilated, the resulting figure and the original figure are similar.

Answer:

Figure \(H'I'J'K'\) is a dilation of figure \(HIJK\). The figures are similar.
