</span> <span><span>Dilation - of a polygon</span> A transformation in which a polygon is enlarged or reduced by a given factor around a given center point. Try this Adjust the slider on the right to change the scale factor. Drag the center point O. Dilation is where the polygon grows or shrinks but keeps the same overall shape. It's a little like zooming in or out on a camera. In the figure above, the polygon is a rectangle ABCD. As you adjust the slider on the right, the transformed rectangle A'B'C'D gets bigger and smaller, but remains the same shape</span></span>
A(b-c)=ab-ac
(1/7)(1/3h-1/2)=(1/7)(1/3h)-(1/7)(1/2)=1/21h-1/14
now we gots
6 and 1/7+1/21h-1/14
rearange
6 and 1/7-1/14+1/21h
make common denom which is 14
6 and 2/14-1/14+1/21h
6 and 1/14+1/21h
9.625 in decimals hope this helps
