To dilate an object means to enlarge or reduce the size of the object. The scale factor will determine how much larger or smaller the object will become. If this factor is greater than 1, the object will increase in size. Otherwise, if the factor is less than 1, the object will decrease in size. So, the dilated object will be similar to its original. On the other hand, when corresponding points of the original and dilated figures are connected by straight lines, the center of dilation is the point where all the lines meet. In this problem, the center is (0, 0). When the center is the origin we need to multiply all the original coordinates of the object by the scale factor given. So:
So, the graph of the dilated triangle is shown in the Figure below
Complete Question:
Johnny printed two maps of a walking trail near his home. The length of the walking trail on the first map is 8 cm.
(a) Choose a length between 5 cm and 15 cm for the walking trail on the second map: ________cm.
(b) Determine the scale factor from the first map to the second map.
(c) A landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm. What are the side lengths of the triangle landmark on the second map?
(d) Draw one of the triangles from part C. Label the side lengths and vertices accordingly. You may use this drawing tool or draw your triangle on paper:
Answer:
(a) Length = 4cm
(b) Scale factor = 0.5
(c) 3cm, 4cm and 5cm are represented by 1.5cm, 2cm and 2.5cm respectively, on the second scale
(d) See attachment for triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Choose a length between 5 cm and 15 cm
<em>--- This is solely up to you (you can make use of any length between 5 cm and 15 cm)</em>
(b) The scale factor
The scale factor (k) is calculated as:
(c) What are side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm on the second landmark
Using:
The old lengths, in this case are: 3cm, 4cm and 5cm
Make New length the subject

When
So: 3cm, 4cm and 5cm are represented by 1.5cm, 2cm and 2.5cm respectively, on the second scale
