To dilate a triangle using a scale factor, you multiply each coordinate of the triangle's vertices by the dilation factor. In this case, the scale factor is \(15\) and we need the original triangle's vertices to perform the calculation.
However, since the original coordinates of the triangle's vertices \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) weren't provided, we can't perform a specific calculation.
If we had the original vertices, we would multiply each coordinate by \(15\) for the dilation:
1. If the original vertex was \((x, y)\), the dilated vertex would be \((15x, 15y)\).
2. For each vertex \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) that would be dilated to \(A'\), \(B'\), and \(C'\).
Let’s analyze the options provided to see which could potentially result from points being multiplied by \(15\):
1. **Option #1: A′(45, 1), B′(4, 5), C′(6, 65)**
- A′: \( (45, 1) \) cannot be obtained from scaling since \( 1/15 \) would not yield a whole number.
- B′: \( (4, 5) \) cannot also be obtained as \( (x, y) = (4/15, 5/15) \) will not be integers.
- C′: \( (6, 65) \) does not yield reasonable coordinates either.
2. **Option #2: A′(4, 54), B′(5, 5), C′(6, 6)**
- Again no valid scaling based on the same logic.
3. **Option #3: A′(4, 1), B′(4, 5), C′(6, 15)**
- All these points would also not yield valid coordinates using scaling \(15\).
None of the given options appears to correctly represent the vertices of a dilated triangle because they don’t seem to follow a multiplication of any original coordinates.
To give a definitive answer or identify which option might be correct, the original vertices of triangle ABC are required. If you have those points, you could plug them into the dilation formula and see their dilated points.
Could you provide the original vertices of the triangle, or let me know if you want further explanations or calculations based on assumed values?
