Dilation of a Triangle about center point O
A dilation of ABC about the point O with a scale factor of k
Make observations as you change the slider/ and move the center point O. You can also change the size of triangle ABC. Answer the questions following the applet.
What observations or conjectures can you make when k = 2? For example: Compare AB to A'B' and BC to B'C' Also look at distance from O to A and O to A'
What observations or conjectures can you make when k =? ( 0.5 )
What observations or conjectures can you make when the scale factor is negative?
