Quadrilateral lmnp has sides measuring 16, 28, 12, and 32.
which could be the side lengths of a dilation of lmnp?
a.) 24, 40, 18, 90
b.) 32, 60, 24, 65
c.) 20, 35, 15, 40
d.) 40, 70, 30, 75 show steps to solution!
i do not understand how to do this
can you plzz and explain i need to pass an a !

To dilate means to make larger and when dilating a shape you make all sides go up by the same ratio not amount you don't just add the same number to each side. also I have to assume that the sides go in order for every answer. so to start you set up a ratio using the first side take the 16 from the instructions and put it over the first side in the first answer so 16/24 or 2/3 when reduced then take the second side from the instructions and first answer and set them up the same way 28/40 reduced to 7/10 now if these ratios were equal it would be the answer however because 7/10 doesn't equal 2/3 a is not the answer. do the same for all the answers and you will get c to be the answer
