G.The new circumference will 8PI be
H.The new area will be 16PI square feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

The statements A,C,F,G and H are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the radius of circle before dilation is $\frac{1}{2}ft$ and the scale factor is 8.

The circumference of original circle is,

$S_1=2\pi r$

$S_1=2\pi \times \frac{1}{2}=\pi$

The area of original circle is,

$A_1=\pi r^2$

$A_1=\pi (\frac{1}{2})^2$

$A_1=\frac{\pi}{4}$

The dilation by scale factor 8 means the radius of new circle is 8 times of the original circle.

$r=8\times \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the radius of new circle is 4 ft and the statement A is true.

The circumference of original circle is,

$S_2=2\pi r$

$S_2=2\pi \times 4=8\pi$

$\frac{S_2}{S_1}=\frac{8\pi}{\pi} =8$

The new circumference will be 8 times the original circumference. The statement C is true.

The area of original circle is,

$A_2=\pi r^2$

$A_2=\pi (4)^2$

$A_2=16\pi$

$\frac{A_2}{A_1}=\frac{16\pi}{\frac{\pi}{4}}=64$

The new area will be 64 times the original area. Therefore statement F is true.

The new circumference will $8\pi$,The new area will be  $16\pi$ square feet.
