Is quadrilateral jklm the result of a dilation of quadrilateral abcd by a scale factor of 2? why or why not? yes, because sides jk and ml are twice as long as sides ab and dc. yes, because both figures are parallelograms, so corresponding sides are parallel. no, because sides jk and ml are not twice as long as sides ab and dc. no, because sides jm and kl have different slopes from sides ad and bc.
