dilate rectangle qrst by a scale factor of 3 with the center of dilation at point q. where is the image of point q located? inside rectangle qrst outside rectangle qrst at point q

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of dilation center

When dilating a figure with a center of dilation at a point \( P \), the image of point \( P \) itself does not move. This is because the distance from \( P \) to itself is \( 0 \), and when multiplied by the scale factor \( k\) (in this case \(k = 3\)), the new distance \(d'=k\times d=3\times0 = 0\).

Answer:

at point \( Q \)
