Question

Triangle RST was dilated with the origin as the center of dilation to create triangle R'S'T'. The triangle was dilated using a scale factor of 34. The coordinates of the vertices of triangle RST are given. You can use the scale factor to find the coordinates of the dilated image. Enter the coordinates of the vertices of triangle R'S'T' below. (Decimal values may be used.)

Answer 1

Triangle RST was dilated by a scale factor of 1/2

Given: triangle R'S'T', is an isosceles triangle, with each leg measuring 8 units. 

Pre-image: 

measure of pre-image * scale factor = measure of resulting image

measure of pre-image = measure of resulting image / scale factor

measure of pre-image = 8 / 1/2

measure of pre-image = 8 * 2/1 

measure of pre-image = 16 units.
