Suppose that rectangle abcd is dilated to a'b'c'd' by a scale factor of 0.5 with a center of dilation at (4, 6). what is the distance from the center of dilation to the midpoint of b'c'? a) 0.5 unit b) 1 unit c) 2 units d) 4 units

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must multiply the coordinates of by the scale factor given in the problem above. Therefore, you have that the coordinates of are:

2. The midpoint of has the folllowing coordinates:

3. The center of dilation is a fixed point, with coordinates . Therefore, the distance from the center of dilation to the midpoint of is:

The answer is the option C:

hello there!

i believe the answer is

(cot2+1)/sec2=cot2

    csc2/sec2=cot2

  (1/sin2)/(1/cos2)=cot2

  (1/sin2)(cos2/1)=cot2

  cos2/sin2=cot2

  (1/tan2)=cot2

  (cot2)=(cot2)

hope this !
