Answer 1

I don't know what 'center of dialation' means.

Answer 2

Oh, now I do.

Oh okay.

Answer 4

The center of dialation is the point about which the image looks the same (but scaled). So in this case, the center would be the point D I believe.

D is the center of dilation. it is the only one which remains unchanged as the triangle becomes bigger.
