Quadrilateral mnpq is the same shape but a different size than quadrilateral m'n'p'q' is it a dilation or not? explain.

If the shape is the same, but the size is different, dilation is involved. There may be other transformations that are also involved (such as rotation, translation, or reflection), so MNPQ may or may not be a straight dilation of M'N'P'Q'.

Translation and dilation can sometimes be combined to a dilation about a point that is not the origin. Reflection might be accommodated by using a negative dilation factor. However, rotation cannot be accomplished using dilation alone.

answer: 180

step-by-step explanation:

12-2=10

20-2=18

18x10=180

no this is a nonlinear negative
