We can find the length of BC:

$(BC)^2+6^2=12^2\implies BC=6\sqrt3$

Then by the law of sines,

$\dfrac{\sin55^\circ}{BC}=\dfrac{\sin90^\circ}{CD}\iff CD=\dfrac{6\sqrt3}{\sin55^\circ}\approx12.7\,\mathrm{cm}$

Plot the image of D under a dilation about the origin (0,0) with a scale factor of 2

ElenaW [278]

(-6,-4)

If you dilate a point, (c,d) about (a,b) by a scale factor by k. You'll going to subtract each coordinates where the point will be dilated about (a,b) from the point (c,d) and then multiply them by k. This would be the formula if you want: (k(c -a), k(b -d))

Let's say F is the dilation of D about the origin or (0,0) then the x coordinate of F would be

$x = 2( - 3 - 0) \\ x = 2( - 3) \\ x = - 6$
