Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem states that the given figure is dilated by a factor of centered at the origin. To help you plot the resulting image, let’s work through the dilation process step by step:
Steps to Dilate the Figure:
-
Identify the coordinates of the vertices of the original triangle. From the image, the points seem to be approximately:
-
Apply the dilation formula:
- Dilation about the origin by a factor of means multiplying each coordinate of the points by .
So, for each vertex , the new coordinates will be:
-
For :
-
For :
-
For :
The dilated coordinates:
These are the new positions of the vertices after dilation. You can now plot these points and connect them to form the dilated image.

Here are 5 follow-up questions:
- What happens to the angles of a shape after dilation?
- How does a dilation factor greater than 1 affect the size of the shape?
- What would the dilation look like with a factor less than 1?
- Can a dilation move the figure to another quadrant?
- How do you find the center of dilation if it's not the origin?
Tip: When dilating by a factor , if , the figure enlarges; if , the figure shrinks.
