To find the dilation of a shape, you need a scale factor. The dilation of a shape by a scale factor of k centered at the origin is given by multiplying each coordinate (x, y) by the scale factor k.
In this case, the given scale factor is 1/3. Therefore, the new coordinates of points A, B, and C after dilation will be:
A' = (3 * 1/3, 1 * 1/3) = (1, 1/3)
B' = (9 * 1/3, 1 * 1/3) = (3, 1/3)
C' = (6 * 1/3, 9 * 1/3) = (2, 3)
So, the new coordinates after dilation are:
A' = (1, 1/3)
B' = (3, 1/3)
C' = (2, 3)
Find the dilation of 1/3
for the given shape centered at the origin.
A= 3, 1 B= 9, 1 C= 6, 9
