Question

pentagon abcde is the image of pentagon abcde under a dilation with a scale factor of \\(\frac{1}{2}\\). what is the length of segment \\(\overline{cd}\\)? \\(\square\\) units

Explanation:

Step1: Find length of $\overline{CD}$

Count grid units: $\overline{CD}$ spans 4 units vertically.

Step2: Apply dilation scale factor

Multiply original length by $\frac{1}{2}$:
$\text{Length of } \overline{C'D'} = 4 \times \frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

2 units
