Since the center point of dilation is at the origin (0, 0), the dilation occurs outward from this point. The farther a point on the shape is from the center, the greater its distance will be from the center after the dilation. So, triangle A′B′C′ is 5 times as far from the origin as triangle ABC.
Combining these two factors, we can conclude that triangle A′B′C′ is 5 times larger than triangle ABC and is 5 times as far from the center of dilation.
