Q. Shairah KiblerDilations of a 30−60−90 right triangle
Identify Side Lengths: Identify the side lengths of a 30−60−90 triangle. The sides are in the ratio 1:3:2.
Assign Lengths to Angles: Let's say the shortest side (opposite the 30∘ angle) is x. Then the other sides are x3 (opposite the 60∘ angle) and 2x (hypotenuse).
Choose Scale Factor: Choose a scale factor for the dilation. Let's use k=2 as an example.
Multiply by Scale Factor: Multiply each side by the scale factor k to find the new lengths. New side lengths will be 2x, 2x3, and 4x.
Check New Side Lengths: Check the new side lengths to ensure they are in the correct ratio. The new sides should still be in the ratio 1:3:2.
