Dilations 2

Dilate the figure by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation. What are the coordinates of the image?
A(3,3) B(6,6) C(9,3)

• A'(9,9) B'(18,18) C'(27,9)
• A'(6,6) B'(9,9) C'(12,6)
• A'(0,0) B'(3,3) C'(6,0)
• A'(1,1) B'(2,2) C'(3,1)

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2
• 3
• 1/3
• 1/2

Triangle ABC will be dilated by a scale factor of 1/2.  What will be the coordinates of C'?

• (-1, -2.5)
• (12, 6)
• (3, -1.5)
• (0, 1.5)

Enlargement or reduction?  Find the scale factor!

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 2.
• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 2.
• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 1/2.
• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 1/2.
