Question

1. here is quadrilateral abcd. quadrilateral pqrs is a scaled copy of quadrilateral abcd. point p corresponds to a, q to b, r to c, and s to d. if the distance from p to r is 3 units, what is the distance from q to s? explain your reasoning.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall property of scaled - copies

Corresponding distances in scaled - copies are in proportion. PR and QS are corresponding distances.

Step2: Determine the distance

Since they are corresponding distances in scaled - copies, if distance from P to R is 3 units, distance from Q to S is also 3 units.

Answer:

3 units
