An art student uses dilations in all her art. She first plans the art piece on a coordinate grid. Determine the vertices of the image of the triangle with vertices A(1,1) B(2,4) and C(3,9) after a dilation with scale factor 1.5.
I'm very confused with this problem, so I need all the help I can get. Thanks to anybody that has helped me solve this problem! I really appreciate it :)

I asume the center of enlargement is the centroid.
We have:
The centroid of the triangle is:
1. Barycentric coordinates:
2. Scale factor 1.5
3. The vertices of the image
The vertices of the image are
