Question

The shape ABCD shown below has to be dilated about Vertex A by a shape factor of 5, the Vertex A moves farther away by m.

• A. \N
• B. 100
• C. 250
• D. 50

Answer 1

The correct option is A \N

Since the image is dilated by a scale factor of 5 about A, all the vertexes will move farther away by 5 times along the axes w.r.t. A, keeping A at its constant position.
Hence, the Vertex A remains at same position. So, the distance moved by A is '0'.
