Copy of Scale Factor Right Triangle Exploration
Dilation Exploration
Drag the scale to change the scale factor and observe what happens to the triangle. Then, answer the questions below the applet.
1) Record the coordinates of triangle ABC. 2) Change the scale factor to 2. What are the coordinates of triangle A'B'C'? 3) Change the scale factor to 3. What are the coordinates of triangle A'B'C'? 4) Change the scale factor to 0.5. What are the coordinates of triangle A'B'C'?
Given the coordinate (-3,2) what would be the new coordinate after dilation of 2?
