Question 1064724: I need help I'm not sure if I'm doing this right .
The shape is a trapezoid.
To see the image of shape it has the coordinates since I can upload the image but if you place it on graph paper.
(0,0), (0,6), (-3,6), (-9,0), (0,0)
I have to draw a smaller copy of it with sides 2/3 the length of the original.
So, I know 2/3 is 0.66
So do I subtract the sides from it can I get help at least one side
