Answer:

Explanation:

For a dilation with a scale factor of 2 from the origin (0,0), each point's new coordinates would be twice the distance from the origin. So, if triangle A's vertices are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3), after dilation, the new vertices would be (2x1, 2y1), (2x2, 2y2), and (2x3, 2y3), respectively.

Look for the triangle that appears to have its vertices doubled in distance from the origin compared to triangle A. This means the new vertices of the dilated triangle should be further away from the origin but in the same direction as the original vertices of triangle A.

Therefore the bottom right should be the correct one
