Given [math]\Delta ABC[/math], use point M as the center of dilation to locate the vertices of a triangle that has side lengths that are three times longer than the sides of [math]\Delta ABC[/math].[br]Use what you learned about dilating figures, center of dilation scale factor to dilate the figure without the geogebra dilation tool. [br][br][i]Note: You may need to zoom out to see the figure after dilation. [/i][br][br](Hint: draw a line from the center of dilation through each vertex of the triangle. Measure the length from the center of dilation to the vertex and create a line segment, along the same line, three times longer.)

Now repeat the process of applet 1 to create a dilation of [math]\Delta ABC[/math] centered at point N by a factor of [math]\frac{1}{2}[/math].
