Question

Geometry help?

Answer 1

In dilation?
i know how to work with \[D _{0,2}\]
but i dont know how to with this: \[D _{x,2}\]

Answer 2

please explain how i'm supposed to take a set of coordinates and using Dx,2 to make them a new set of coordinates.

On the graph are three points XYZ. Enter the coordinates for the given dilation.
DZ,2 = X'(__ , __), Y'(__ ,__ ), Z'( __, __)

Answer 4

in
\[\huge D_{0,2} \]
what does the 0 and 2 mean?

Answer 5

oh, those are coordinates. i know how to solve that one, i'm just confused on the ones with the variables in them. like \[D _{(x,2)}\]

Answer 6

is it the coordinates of the center of dilation? what about scale factor?

Answer 7

scale factor

Answer 8

so (0, 2) is the dilation point?

Answer 9

i'm not familiar with those notations.... sorry, i'm trying to understand those notations...

Answer 10

if it helps, the unit i'm on is transformations. the easy stuff, you know rotations, translations, refletctions etc. the lesson i'm on now is Dilations:Congruence and Similarity..

Answer 13

@ganeshie8
they gave me this picture https://media.glynlyon.com/a_matgeo_2011/9/q1_7l5.gif
and this to fill in:

\[D _{0,2}\] = X'( __,__), Y'(__ , __), Z'( __, __)

So in my lesson it explained that i was supposed to multiply every coordinate by 2 (because that's what it says in the scale factor (0,2)). So i did and fot
\[D _{0,2}\] = X'( 8,0), Y'(6 , 4), Z'( 4, -4)

however, they didn't explain how to use \[D _{x,2}\] very well, so that is my question-- what i'm supposed to multiply or add or i dont know..

Answer 14

got* not fot
