Quadrilateral $$A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} D^{\prime}$$ is the result of dilating quadrilateral $$A B C D$$ about point $$D$$ by a scale factor of $$\frac{2}{3}$$ ![](http://admin.getprephub.com/media/editor/tp15_20230125194850593673.png) Check if the following statement about the properties of quadrilateral $$A B C$$ and quadrilateral $$A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime}$$ is true or false. \section{$$A B$$ and $$A^{\prime} B^{\prime}$$ are on distinct parallel lines}

A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged. The line through $${AB}$$ does not pass through center D. So segments $$A B$$ and $${A}^{\prime} {B}^{\prime}$$ are on distinct parallel lines.
