So we have some triangle with 3 side lengths:
|dw:1481932080058:dw|
If we wanted to draw this w/ a scale factor of two... how would we do that? @devonhoward15
OpenStudy (devonhoward15):
half all the sides

so it would be 3,2,2,
OpenStudy (devonhoward15):
is this correct?
OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):
Recall that:
"A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size.
A dilation used to create an image larger than the original is called an enlargement.
A dilation used to create an image smaller than the original is called a reduction."
image/original = scale factor...
If the scale factor is 2 --> Than we want to multiply each side by two.
