d ( 3,3)

Suppose you dilate the rectangle on the coordinate plane using a magnitude of 12 and the center of dilation at (1,1) . What would be the corresponding ordered pair to the current point D ?

To perform a dilation of a point \( D(3, 3) \) using a center of dilation at \( (1, 1) \) and a magnitude of 12, you can use the formula for dilation.

The formula for the coordinates \( (x', y') \) of the dilated point is given by:

\[ (x', y') = (x_c + k(x - x_c), y_c + k(y - y_c)) \]

where:

  • \( (x_c, y_c) \) is the center of dilation,
  • \( (x, y) \) is the original point,
  • \( k \) is the dilation factor (magnitude).

In this case:

  • \( (x_c, y_c) = (1, 1) \)
  • \( (x, y) = (3, 3) \)
  • \( k = 12 \)

Plugging in the values:

  1. For \( x' \): \[ x' = 1 + 12(3 - 1) = 1 + 12(2) = 1 + 24 = 25 \]

  2. For \( y' \): \[ y' = 1 + 12(3 - 1) = 1 + 12(2) = 1 + 24 = 25 \]

Thus, the new coordinates after dilation are \( (25, 25) \).

So, the corresponding ordered pair to the current point \( D \) after dilation is \( (25, 25) \).
