Question

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation with a scale factor of centered at the origin. 3
Hint: Multiply the coordinates of each point by 1/3
what is b and d

Answer 1

To find the new coordinates after a dilation with a scale factor of 3 centered at the origin, we need to multiply the original coordinates of each point by 1/3.

Let's assume the original coordinates of the point B are (x, y).

After the dilation, the new coordinates of point B would be (x/3, y/3).

Similarly, the new coordinates of point D would also be (x/3, y/3) if it has the same coordinates as point B.

So, the coordinates of both point B and point D after the dilation with a scale factor of 3 centered at the origin would be (x/3, y/3).
