So... How do i Explain How i found the center of Dilation?

Laylalyssa:

what?

Laylalyssa:

in math?

Astrid1:

Yes! In Math

emma111:

tell me the question.

Astrid1:

Lin drew a triangle and a dilation of the triangle with scale factor   What is the center of the dilation? Explain how you know?

emma111:

hmmmmmm

Astrid1:

yes mame

Mercury:

to find the center of dilation, you'll draw lines connecting corresponding points, then see where the lines intersect this diagram does a good job of illustrating it: |dw:1605571673348:dw| https://mathbitsnotebook.com/Geometry/Transformations/DIpice1.jpg notice how they connected A with A' B with B', etc. and the center is where the three lines intersect so try applying this logic to your problem

emma111:

Starting with ΔABC, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. Notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). Dilations involve multiplication! Dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.

Astrid1:

That was the website that my school used to teach us it. But it still doesnt make any sense

emma111:

what website?

Astrid1:

This one --https://mathbitsnotebook.com/Geometry/Transformations/DIpice1.jpg The one that Came w/ Mercury's Comment

Astrid1:
