Quadrilateral A’B’C’D’ is a dilation of quadrilateral ABCD about point P. Quadrilateral ABCD is shown. Side AB is labeled 5. Sid

Answer: The correct option is (A) reduction.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the quadrilateral A'B'C'D' is a dilation of the quadrilateral ABCD.

As shown in the given figure, the lengths of the sides of quadrilateral ABCD are as follows:

AB = 5 units, BC = 4 units, CD = 10 units and DA = 6 units.

And, the lengths of the sides of quadrilateral A'B'C'D' are as follows:

$A'B'=1\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{5}{4}~\textup{units},~~B'C'=1~\textup{units},~~C'D'=2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}~\textup{units},\\\\D'A'=1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}~\textup{units}.$

We know that the dilation will be an enlargement if the scale factor is greater than 1 and it will be a reduction if the scale factor is less than 1.

Now, the scale factor is given by

$S=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated figure}}{\textup{length of the corresponding side of the original figure}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{A'B'}{AB}=\dfrac{\frac{5}{4}}{5}=\dfrac{5}{4\times5}=\dfrac{1}{4}$
