Staar Questions Transformations

Pentagon MNPQR is shown on the coordinate grid. Pentagon MNPQR is dilated using the rule (x, y)→(1/4x, 1/4y) to create pentagon M'N'P'Q'R'. Which statement is true?

• Pentagon M'N'P'Q'R' is larger than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is greater than 1.

• Pentagon M'N'P'Q'R' is smaller than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is less than 1.

• Pentagon M'N'P'Q'R' is smaller than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is greater than 1.

• Pentagon M'N'P'Q'R' is larger than pentagon MNPQR, because the scale factor is less than 1.

A polygon is graphed on a coordinate grid with (x,y) representing the location of a certain point on the polygon. The polygon is transformed using the rule (x, y)→(ax, ay). Which statement must be true?

• If a is greater than 1, the image of the polygon is congruent to the polygon.

• If a is between 0 and 1, the image of the polygon is congruent to the polygon.

• If a is greater than 1, the image of the polygon is smaller than the polygon.

• If a is between 0 and 1, the image of the polygon is smaller than the polygon.
