does it LOOK like " an enlargement or a reduction" @michaelac959 ?

OpenStudy (michaelac959):

a reduction

OpenStudy (michaelac959):

because the dotted triangle is smaller than the whole one

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

OpenStudy (michaelac959):

finding all of the points?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):
