A dilation of [math]\Delta[/math]ABC about the point O with a scale factor of k
[b][size=150]Make observations as you change the slider/ and move the center point O. You can also change the size of triangle ABC. Answer the questions following the applet.[/size][/b]
[b][color=#0000ff][size=150]What observations or conjectures can you make when k = 2? [br]For example: Compare AB to A'B' and BC to B'C'[br]Also look at distance from O to A and O to A'[/size][/color][/b]
