Dilations Part 2: What Do You Notice?

Play around with this constrution for a few minutes. As you do, carefully observe what happens. Be sure to move points A, B, and O around. Be sure to slide the slider too!
Check the box [math]\frac{OA'}{OA}[/math] in the upper right corner. How does the ratio [math]\frac{OA'}{OA}[/math] compare to the scale factor [math]k[/math]? (Be sure to move points and slider around!)
Check the box [math]\frac{OB'}{OB}[/math] on the middle (far right). How does the ratio [math]\frac{OB'}{OB}[/math] compare to the scale factor [math]k[/math]? (Be sure to move points and slider around!)
Check the box [math]\frac{A'B'}{AB}[/math] in the lower right corner. How does the ratio [math]\frac{A'B'}{AB}[/math] compare to the scale factor [math]k[/math]? (Be sure to move points and slider around!)
