Question

Hector is making an art project by cutting and gluing fabric shapes to a wooden board. His design includes two similar triangles, with one 4 times the size of the other. He cuts the smaller fabric triangle and traces it onto grid paper. Describe how he can use the tracing to make a pattern for the larger fabric triangle.

Apply a dilation with center .
————
The scale factor is ——-
The dilation mapping is (x, y)
→ . ———
The image represents the shape of the ————

Answer 1

Center of dilation origin, The scale factor is 4, The dilation mapping is (x, y) → (4x,4y) and The image represents the shape of the triangle.

Explanation:

Given Hector is making an art project by cutting and gluing fabric shapes to a wooden board. His design includes two similar triangles, with one 4 times the size of the other. He cuts the smaller fabric triangle and traces it onto grid paper. we have to tell how he can use the tracing to make a pattern for the larger fabric triangle.

Apply the center of dilation origin.

The scale factor is 4

The dilation mapping is (x, y) → (4x,4y)

The image represents the shape of the triangle.
