To find the coordinates of the image of parallelogram ABCD after dilation, we need to apply the dilation transformation based on the given center and scale factor.
1. Dilation with a scale factor of 3:
If the original coordinates of points A, B, C, and D are (x_A, y_A), (x_B, y_B), (x_C, y_C), and (x_D, y_D), respectively, the coordinates of the image after dilation can be calculated using the formula:
[
(x’, y’) = (kx, ky)
]
where ( k ) is the scale factor.
For a scale factor of 3:
– The new coordinates will be:
– A’ = (3 * x_A, 3 * y_A)
– B’ = (3 * x_B, 3 * y_B)
– C’ = (3 * x_C, 3 * y_C)
– D’ = (3 * x_D, 3 * y_D)
2. Dilation with a scale factor of 1/2:
Similarly, for a scale factor of 1/2, the new coordinates will be:
– A” = (1/2 * x_A, 1/2 * y_A)
– B” = (1/2 * x_B, 1/2 * y_B)
