Question

Scale factor 3/4 Coordinates A(1,12) B(1,6) C (0,9) Triangle DEF is a dilation of triangle ABC What's the coordinates of triangle DEF?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation is rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

Dilation is the increase or decrease in the size of a figure by a factor (k). If k > 1, then it is a enlargement and if k < 1, it is a reduction. If a point A(x, y) is dilated by a factor k, the new point is A'(kx, ky).

Triangle DEF is a dilation of triangle ABC by a factor of 3/4. Hence the coordinates of triangle DEF is:

D(3/4, 9), E(3/4, 9/2), F(3/4, 27/4)
