You have two similar triangles. Triangle MNK has the following side lengths: MN = 2 units, NK = 5 units and MK = 3 units. Triangle MNK has been dilated to get Triangle M’N’K’. If you know that the length of M’N’ = 10 units, then the lengths of N’K’ and M’K’ are ______ and _______.

25 and 15

dilation

400

If a figure has coordinates S (-4, -2), T (-3, 1) and U (-2, -2), what would the new coordinates be if it was dilated by 3, with (0,0) being the center of dilation?

S’ (-12, -6), T’ (-9, 3), and U’ (-6, -6)?
