## anonymous one year ago HELP!! MEDAL + FAN Square RSTU is constructed with line PQ drawn through its center. If the square is dilated using a scale factor of one over two and a line is drawn through the center of the new dilated figure, what relationship will the new line have with line PQ? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

2. Mehek14

lets say that is square RSTU

3. Mehek14

if it was dilated with a sf of 1/2, this is how it would look |dw:1441468529062:dw|

4. Mehek14

so what is the relation between the 2 lines?

5. anonymous

The same

6. Mehek14

it stays the same because the center of both squares are the same

Can you help me explain my reasoning in complete sentences please

$$\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}$$ @Mehek14 it stays the same because the center of both squares are the same $$\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}$$

Make it longer like this when the square is dilated with a scale factor of 1/2, the square became smaller. However, the center of both squares stayed the same so line PQ and the new line are the same
