@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here.

OpenStudy (3mar):

OpenStudy (3mar):

That makes sense now!

OpenStudy (poto):

Yes it does, sorry about that 3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

No problem at all!

OpenStudy (3mar):

If you choose the point (2,-2) as a dilation center, you need to dilate every length of the three sides at a 5/3 times

OpenStudy (poto):

okay so (2,-2) would be my center

OpenStudy (3mar):

Got what I am trying to say?

OpenStudy (poto):

yes so far

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, that is the point that you will fix and dilate all lengths from it! i.e it would not move!

OpenStudy (poto):

So would it be like this http://prntscr.com/d1dnc8

OpenStudy (3mar):

For the vertical line for example: after dilation it would be \[3*\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }=5\] so it will be 5 unit length not 6

OpenStudy (poto):

so like this instead http://prntscr.com/d1dp6c

OpenStudy (3mar):

Correct! You are awesome!

OpenStudy (poto):

Thank you 3mar, have a good day.

OpenStudy (3mar):

You are welcome! Any more questions?

OpenStudy (poto):

Yes!

OpenStudy (3mar):

I will not be late for any help.

OpenStudy (poto):

Okay! thanks!
