(a) V,
(b) W.

(ii)
 It is given that pentagon QRSTU represents a region with an area of 90 m2.
Calculate the area, in m2, of pentagon KLMNP.


Solution:
(a)



(i)
TT = K(5, 1) → T1 → K’(2, 5) ) → T2 → K’’(–1, 9)
(ii) TP =  K(5, 1) → P → K’(5, 3) → T → K’’(2, 7)

V: 90o rotation in clockwise direction at point K(3, 7).

(b)(i)(b)
W: Enlargement at point (1, 6) with scale factor 3.

(b)(ii)
Area of QRSTU = (scale factor)2 × area of object
Area of QRSTU = 32 × Area of KLMNP
90 m2 = 9 × Area of KLMNP
Area of KLMNP = 90/9 = 10 m2
