Step 2: Choose one vertex, which we will arbitrarily call M. Locate M' on BM such that BM' = r BM.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for the remaining vertices. Then connect the new vertices to have the image.
Let's draw the dilation of the given figure!
Step 1
We will begin by drawing the rays from B through each vertex. Let's also name the remaining vertices with consecutive letters.
Step 2
The given scale factor is r= 25. Let's locate M' on BM such that BM' = 25 BM. To do this, we measure BM first. Then, after multiplying BM by 25 we get the length of BM'. We locate the point M' by measuring this length from B along BM.
Step 3
We can locate N' and O' in the same way we located M' in Step 2.
Finally, we can connect the vertices and get the image of the new figure.
