Which one is the right answer

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

step-by-step explanation:

consider the parallelogram shown in the attached image.

in the parallelogram hijk, the length of hk is given as,

from the properties of parallelogram we know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel to each other and are equal in measure.

therefore, the length of the side ij must be equal to the length of the side hk and that is .

hence, the expression for the length of ij confirms that hijk is a parallelogram.
