Question

GivenRST andR'S'T'.



Describe a dilation (center and scale factor) that transforms triangle RST into triangle R'S'T' or explain why it cannot be done.


In either case, use complete sentences to describe the relationship that exists between the corresponding sides and angles.

Answer 1

Triangle RST has coordinates of:

(1, 1) S

(2, 1) T

(1, 2) R

Triangle R'S'T' has coordinates of:

(3, 3) S'

(6, 3) T'

(3, 6) R'}

are these correct

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

ST = 1 unit
S'T' = 3 units

for the rest sides what are the lengths ?

Answer 4

The center of the dilation is the origin. The scale factor is 3.
