Question

In the figure, polygon ABCD is dilated by a factor of 2 to produce A'BCD with the origin as the center of dilation.Point A' is at ___y, and point D is at ____

Answer 1

A'(-2,-2) D(4,-2)

In the Geometric Transformation below, the Dilation centered at the origin we have the pre image on the following points A (-1,-1) B (0,1) C(2,2) and D(2,-1)

Since the Dilation factor is 2

Then the Dilated figure will be found simply by multiplyling every coordinate by its factor. Due to the fact it is centered at the origin.

Finally, the Dilated figure will be:

A'(-2,-2) B(0,2) C(4,4) and D(4,-2)
