To dilate a triangle from the origin by a scale factor of 4, we multiply each coordinate of the triangle’s vertices by 4.

The original vertices are:

  1. \( (12, 0) \)
  2. \( (5, 0) \)
  3. \( (4, 3) \)

Now, we will perform the dilation for each vertex:

  1. For \( (12, 0) \): \[ (12 \times 4, 0 \times 4) = (48, 0) \]

  2. For \( (5, 0) \): \[ (5 \times 4, 0 \times 4) = (20, 0) \]

  3. For \( (4, 3) \): \[ (4 \times 4, 3 \times 4) = (16, 12) \]

So, the new vertices of the dilated triangle are \( (48, 0) \), \( (20, 0) \), and \( (16, 12) \).

Looking at the response options you provided, the correct answer corresponds to \( (20, 0) \), \( (48, 0) \), and \( (16, 12) \), which is not explicitly listed as given. Nonetheless, the vertices after dilation are \( (48, 0) \), \( (20, 0) \), and \( (16, 12) \).
