The triangle shown above is dilated by a factor of

00:14

three Yeah it's giving birth What is its perimeter After

be stretched out which essentially what happens with a dilation

00:35

tried out Just don't get blue in the face from

00:38

blowing up the balloons In this case strangles dilated by

00:40

a factor of three which means all sides become three

00:43

times as long was multiplying All three right so three

00:46

times sixteen forty eight three times sixteen Still forty eight

00:49

three times eight is twenty four right so we could

00:52

just add all those up or if we were a

00:54

little bit more clever we could have just added the

00:56

sixteen sixteen to thirty two and a that's forty Multiply
