Question

which of the following drawings shows the polygon and a scaled copy? press the arrows to expand the image, if necessary. identify the scaled - copy above figure

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scaled - copy properties

A scaled - copy has all side - lengths in the same ratio to the original polygon.

Step2: Analyze option A

Check if side - length ratios are consistent. If we assume a grid unit as 1, measure side - lengths of the original and the copy in option A and find the ratio. For example, if a side of the original is 4 units and the corresponding side of the copy is 2 units, the ratio is 2:1 for all corresponding sides.

Step3: Analyze option B

Measure side - lengths. We find that the side - length ratios are not the same for all corresponding sides.

Step4: Analyze option C

Measure side - lengths. The side - length ratios are not consistent for all corresponding sides.

Answer:

A
