Question

Lin drew a triangle and a dilation of 1/2. What is the center of Dilation? Explain how you know?

Answer 1

POINT D

Explanation:

The triangle isn't shrinking. Instead, it is growing. So the obvious answer is point D because the scale factor is greater than 1. Also remember that when the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure runs away from the center of dilation, so the center of dilation is point D.
