Dilation of Triangle ABC

The video tutorial explains how to perform a dilation of triangle ABC with center P and a scale factor of 1/4. The instructor demonstrates the process by calculating the new positions of points A, B, and C based on their distances from point P. Each point's movement is adjusted according to the scale factor, resulting in a smaller, proportionally reduced triangle.

• Eight units

• Six units

How many units to the left does point B move after dilation?

• One unit

• Two units
