△rst is dilated by a scale factor of 2 to form its image, △rst. the rays that the vertices move along all begin at a point, called the center of dilation. which figure is closer to the center of dilation? the original figure the dilated image

Explanation:

When a figure is dilated, if the scale factor is greater than 1 (in this case, scale factor = 2), the dilated image is larger than the original figure. The original figure is closer to the center of dilation. This is because dilation is a transformation that enlarges (when scale factor > 1) or reduces (when scale factor < 1) a figure from the center of dilation. A larger - scaled figure (dilated image with scale factor 2) moves further away from the center of dilation compared to the original figure.

Answer:

the original figure
