Triangle BCD with vertices B(2, -1), C(4, 1), and D(5, -2) is dilated using scale factor = 3, centered at the origin
Added by Frank C.

Step 1
The scale factor is centered at the origin, which means the origin is the center of dilation. This means that the origin will remain fixed and the distance between any point and the origin will be multiplied by the scale factor. Let's say the scale factor is Show more…

Triangle ABC has vertices A(1, 2), B(3, 5), and C(4, 3). Using the origin as the center of dilation, Triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to create Triangle A'B'C'. Which statement can be used to justify that Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle A'B'C'?

A(2,0), B(3,-1), and C(-2,-5) are the vertices of ΔABC. If the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation, what are the coordinates of the vertices of the image?

Triangle ABC has vertices located at A(0, 2), B(2, 6), and C(4, 2). Triangle A'B'C' is the result of dilating Triangle ABC using the origin as the center of dilation and a scale factor of 2. Complete the table by finding the coordinates of Triangle A'B'C'. Preimage coordinates Image coordinates Point A A(0, 2) Point A' Point B B(2, 6) Point B' Point C C(4, 2) Point C'
