Describe the dilation of triangle ABC, with a scale factor of 5 and a center point of dilation at the origin (0, 0). (1 point)

Question

Triangle A'B'C' is 5 times smaller than triangle ABC and is 5 times as far from the center point of dilation.

Triangle A'B'C' is 5 times as large as thangle ABC and is 5 times closer to the center point of dilation.

Triangle A'B'C' is 5 times as large as triangle ABC and is 5 times as far from the center point of dilation.

Triangle A'B'C' is 5 times smaller than triangle ABC and is 5 times closer to the center point of dilation.

Answer 1

In the dilation of a triangle with a scale factor of 5 and a center point of dilation at the origin (0, 0), each point of the original triangle ABC is moved away from the center of dilation (the origin) by a factor of 5. This means that the new triangle A'B'C' will be 5 times larger than triangle ABC and will be 5 times farther from the center point of dilation.

Thus, the correct description is:

Triangle A'B'C' is 5 times as large as triangle ABC and is 5 times as far from the center point of dilation.
