Here is a triangle.

  1. Draw the dilation of triangle ABC, with center (0,0), and scale factor 2. Label this triangle A′B′C′.
  2. Draw the dilation of triangle ABC, with center (0,0), and scale factor 12. Label this triangle A″B″C″.
  3. Is A″B″C″ a dilation of triangle A′B′C′? If yes, what are the center of dilation and the scale factor?
