Question

which of the following drawings shows the polygon and a scaled copy? press the arrows to expand the image, if necessary. hint: a scaled copy is the same shape but may be a different size. identify the scaled copy above figure

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scaled - copy property

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

Step2: Analyze option A

The shapes in option A do not have proportional side - lengths.

Step3: Analyze option B

The shapes in option B do not have proportional side - lengths.

Step4: Analyze option C

The smaller polygon in option C has side - lengths that are half of the original polygon's side - lengths. For example, if the original has a side of length 4, the scaled copy has a corresponding side of length 2. All sides follow this ratio, so it is a scaled copy.

Step5: Analyze option D

The shapes in option D do not have proportional side - lengths.

Answer:

C
