Triangle ABC is first rotated clockwise about A for 90 degrees to triangle AB1C1.  Triangle AB1C1 is then reflected over B1C1 to triangle A1B1C1.  Triangle A1B1C1 is then translated 8 units to the right to triangle A2B2C2.  Triangle A2B2C2 is then dilated about A to triangle A3B3C3 with scale factor -14.  What is the perimeter of triangle A3B3C3?

CORRECTIONS:

 

The perimeter of triangle A3B3C3 is 14 times the perimeter of triangle ABC, and the triangle is turned upside-down.

 

P = 224 units

 

A (0, 0)      B (3, 4)        C (6, 0) 

 

A1 (5.76, - 7.68)        B1 (4, - 3)         C1 (0, - 6)   

 

A2 (13.76, - 7.68)           B2 (12, - 3)          C2 (8, - 6)   

 

A(-192.64, 107.52)           B3 (-168, 42)            C3 (-112, 84)
