|dw:1581131497242:dw|

Vocaloid:

find two corresponding points between the blue and pink trapezoids. for example, I will pick the upper right corners on both shapes |dw:1581131526801:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1581131579171:dw| then draw a straight line through the two points, and extend forever in both directions

Vocaloid:

keep going with all the points on the two shapes. all the lines you draw should intersect at one point. that one point is your center of dilation.
