Mr. Murphy designed a new logo for the NHS math team. Part of the logo includes a pair of similar triangles as shown in the figure below.

• The center of dilation for these triangles must be one of the vertices of the outside triangle.

• The center of dilation for these triangles must be one of the vertices of the inside triangle.

• The center of dilation for these triangles must be in the interior of the two triangles.

• The center of dilation for these triangles must be exterior to the two triangles.
