3. Each figure shows a pair of similar triangles, one contained in the other. For each pair, describe a point and a scale factor to use for a dilation moving the larger triangle to the smaller one. Use a measurement tool to find the scale factor.

Step 1
For the first figure, the larger triangle is \( \triangle ABC \) and the smaller triangle is \( \triangle A'B'C' \). For the second figure, the larger triangle is \( \triangle ABC \) and the smaller triangle is \( \triangle A'B'C' \). Show more…

Exponent Review
In the following figure, the smaller triangle is the image of the larger triangle under a dilation centered at point O. Find the scale factor and the length of x and y as pictured. The numbers and letters represent the lengths of the sides of the triangles. scale factor = (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) x = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) y = (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Determine the coordinates for the center of dilation of the preimage, triangle ABC with coordinates, A (1, 2), B( 3, 4), C (2, -3) that had been dialated by a scale factor of 3 to form image, triangle A'B'C' with coordinates A' (3, 6), B' (9, 12), C' (6, -9).
