Question

How to dilate a figure 1/2

Answer 1

The figure with given coordinates of the vertices can be dilated by factor 1/2. The dilation is done by multipliying the coordinates of the vertices by dilation factor.

So coordinates of the vertices of transformed figure is,

`A(x,y)\rightarrow A^(\prime)((1)/(2)\cdot x,(1)/(2)\cdot y)`

Answer:

For dilation of a fugure by 1/2, multiply each coordinates (x and y both) of the all vertices of figure by 1/2.
