I have a few questions I would like checked, just to make sure they're right.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I took this class some time ago too lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. They just happened to choose everything I'm not good at for this test, lol

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol yeah geometry is all about logic trust me I barely studied anything and A is good but in B if I'm not mistaken you have to add point H because is inside the angle

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

if I put the k in the line it tells me that is inside the angle...

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

C is good

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

is your triangle the orange one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are two. The large one is the base triangle. There is a second longer one, and the orange one. Both of which I made.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh alright and you picked random numbers correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Random numbers? No, I was just dilating the shape by the scale factors given. How would I use random numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

wait I remembered how to do this you have to use the points, for example point C=(4,8) then you have to plug in those in the equation 1/2(x),1/2(8) and those will be your new points

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

therefore Kyles point C would be 2,4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But did I get the sizes correct?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I think you did it wrong but I'm going to find someone to double check because I know those unit exams are a lot of points and I don't want you to get it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That may be true, but when I looked elsewhere it said that this is the formula for dilation.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

@rational this person is smart and can double check if I'm correct

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

it is dilating but is also translating I can show you my graph if you want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ParthKohli Maybe they can help.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

OpenStudy (rational):

Everything in that doc looks good. But I don't see the graphs of scaled triangles ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They're on the second page. Both of the smaller ones, the shaded one and the non-shaded one, are mine.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/topics/transformations-of-graphs.html according to that website they are dilating but the image is also moving.

OpenStudy (rational):

Right, they look perfect !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay! Thank you both! You have helped me a lot..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

helped*

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

wait @rational you meant his are correct or the ones that I posted?

OpenStudy (rational):

Oh your graphs are wrong @LinxNeedsHelpPlease whatever @Daniellelovee has posted are correct

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh ok thank you for checking :)
