Triangle RST is shown below with line UV passing through the center. Imagine triangle RST was dilated by a scale factor of three about the center of the triangle and a line was drawn passing through its center. What would you know about the line of the dilated figure as compared to line UV drawn below

L will help if you say the magic word :D

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Em..............>.> Fine FINE I'll say it to L and only L ^_^ \(\huge\color{CHOOSE}{\frak{Will~You~Help~Me~Please?}}\)

OpenStudy (shamil98):

LOL im such a troll

OpenStudy (shamil98):

i joke, let's get started

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

SHAM

OpenStudy (shamil98):

well first off dilated by a scale factor of three means that the triangle will be three units larger from the center..

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Ah! So it's dilated ^_^

OpenStudy (shamil98):

The center of the triangle is at (0,2)

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Sham.........I'm gonna need to borrow your brain after this -

OpenStudy (shamil98):

so, dilated by a scale factor of 3. (0 *3 , 2 * 3)

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

You make things easy Sham........you dam peanut http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zynwV7K01qmoolso1_500.gif

OpenStudy (shamil98):

well actually the center doesnt really matter we're dilating the triangle.. R(-2,2) S(1,3) T(1,1) and how do u get 3 from 0 * 3 anything times 0 is 0 ...

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

So we know that it's been dilated - By a scale factor of 3 - The center of the Triangle would be (0, 2) -

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

LOL SHAM MY BAD XD

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Oh God ._.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

This never happened O_O

OpenStudy (shamil98):

yes just the points are enlarged. R ( -6, 6 ) S ( 3,9) T(3,3) The center is (0,6)

OpenStudy (shamil98):

hold on im drawing it..

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Ah! So we know that it's been dilated - By a scale factor of 3 - And that the center of the Triangle would be at (0, 6) -

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Looks like I'm done!

OpenStudy (shamil98):

not done yet;..

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Oh oh my bad - Do as you please sir ~

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Hey um Sham..........

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

Congrats on 88 ^_^

OpenStudy (shamil98):

U(0,3) V(0,1) That is the line of UV although it is continous the original points are no longer inside the triangle.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

and ty

OpenStudy (shamil98):

The points of UV on compared to the dilated figure are no longer within the triangle. basically.

OpenStudy (charlotte123):

That triangle *-* Thank you Sham http://images.ados.fr/1/bd-manga/kobato/photo/hd/6746820674/16711275d5/kobato-k01__89480-big.gif I um.........I really appreciate it >.> I appreciate it peanut ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)
