Question

The coordinates of a triangle are (2,3), (3, 1), and (4,5). Find the coordinates of thetranslated triangle if it is reduced by a scale factor of 0.5.

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

Triangle

point 1 (2,3)

point 2 (3, 1)

point 3 (4,5)

Step 02:

scale factor of 0.5

point 1 (2,3) ===> (0.5 * 2 , 0.5 * 3) = ( 1 , 1.5 )

point 2 (3, 1) ===> (0.5 * 3 , 0.5 * 1) = ( 1.5 , 0.5)

point 3 (4,5) ===> (0.5 * 4 , 0.5 * 5) = ( 2 , 2.5)

That is the full solution.
