Answer:
= (1,
),
= (
,-1) and

OA =
units, OB =
units and OC =
units
O
=
units,
O
=
units and
O
=
units
Explanation:
Given vertices are A(2,5), B(3,-2), C(4,4) and the new vertices after dilation are

a.
Triangle needs to be dilated about the origin.
⇒The centre of dilation is the origin O(0,0).
scaling factor is

=
=
=

⇒
divide OA, OB and OC in the ratio 1:1 respectively.
Using the formula for the coordinates of a point dividing two points (0,0), (x,y) in the ratio 1:1 is (
,
) :
= (1,
),
= (
,-1) and

b.
Using the formula for the distance between the points (0,0) and (x,y) is
:
OA =
=
units
OB =
=
units
OC =
=
units
c.
From the property of dilation :
=
=
=

⇒O
=
=
units
O
=
=
units
O
=
=
units
d.
Using the formula for the distance between two points :
O
=
=
units
O
=
=
units
O
=
=
units
which are the same as we predicted in part c.
