Question

problem 4 draw a scaled copy of the polygon using a scale factor of $\frac{1}{2}$.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify polygon vertices

Locate the vertices of the original polygon.

Step2: Apply scale - factor to coordinates

If a vertex of the original polygon has coordinates \((x,y)\), the coordinates of the corresponding vertex in the scaled - copy will be \((\frac{1}{2}x,\frac{1}{2}y)\) for each vertex.

Step3: Connect the new vertices

Use a straight - edge to connect the new vertices in the same order as in the original polygon to form the scaled copy.

Answer:

The scaled copy of the polygon is drawn with vertices having half of the original polygon's vertex coordinates. (Note: Since the original polygon is not shown, the actual drawing cannot be provided here, but these are the steps to create it.)
