Answer:
[tex]A"B" = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]k = \frac{1}{2}[/tex] --- scale factor
Required
Relationship between AB and A"B"
[tex]k = \frac{1}{2}[/tex] implies that the sides of A"B"C" are smaller than ABC
i.e.
[tex]A"B" = k * AB[/tex]
[tex]A"B" = \frac{1}{2} * AB[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]A"B" = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]
