Q. Graph the image of TUV \triangle T U V after a dilation with a scale factor of 55 , centered at the origin.
  1. Identify Coordinates: First, we need to identify the coordinates of the vertices of triangle TUV. Let's assume the original coordinates of T, U, and V are (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1), (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2), and (x3,y3)(x_3, y_3) respectively. Since the problem does not provide specific coordinates, we will use these variables to represent them.
  2. Apply Dilation: Next, we apply the dilation with a scale factor of 55, centered at the origin. To do this, we multiply the xx and yy coordinates of each vertex by the scale factor. The new coordinates for each vertex will be (5x1,5y1)(5x_1, 5y_1), (5x2,5y2)(5x_2, 5y_2), and (5x3,5y3)(5x_3, 5y_3).
  3. Plot New Coordinates: Now, we plot the new coordinates on a graph. We draw points at (5x1,5y1)(5x_1, 5y_1), (5x2,5y2)(5x_2, 5y_2), and (5x3,5y3)(5x_3, 5y_3). These points represent the vertices of the dilated triangle TUVT'U'V'.
  4. Connect Points: After plotting the points, we connect them with straight lines to form the dilated triangle TUVT'U'V'. This triangle will be 55 times larger than the original triangle TUVTUV, and its shape will be similar to the original triangle.
