Part A:

1/4

Part B:

P''(-1, 0),  Q''(0, -1), and R''(2, -1)

Part C:

Triangle PQR is similar to triangle P''Q''R'' but they are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Triangle ΔPQR has vertices P(4, 0), Q(0, -4), R(-8, -4)

Triangle ΔP'Q'R' has vertices P'(1, 0), Q'(0, -1), R'(-2, -1)

The dimensions of the sides of the triangle are given by the relation;

Where;

(x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates on the ends of the segment

For segment PQ, we place (x₁, y₁) = (4, 0) and (x₂, y₂) = (0, -4);

By substitution into the length equation, we get;

The length of segment PQ = 4·√2

The length of segment PR = 4·√10

The length of segment RQ = 8  

The length of segment P'Q' = √2

The length of segment P'R' = √10

The length of segment R'Q' = 2

Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation of ΔPQR to ΔP'Q'R' is 1/4

Part B:

Reflection of (x, y) across the y-axis gives;

(x, y) image after reflection across the y-axis = (-x, y)

The coordinates after reflection of P'(1, 0), Q'(0, -1), R'(-2, -1) across the y-axis is given as follows;

P'(1, 0) image after reflection across the y-axis = P''(-1, 0)

Q'(0, -1) image after reflection across the y-axis = Q''(0, -1)

R'(-2, -1) image after reflection across the y-axis = R''(2, -1)

Part C:

Triangle PQR is similar to triangle P''Q''R'' but they are not congruent as the dimensions of the sides of triangle PQR and P''Q''R'' are not the same.
