A farmer has a cow pasture that is a rectangle which measures 60 yards by 90 yards. She wants to expand the
pasture so the area of the expanded pasture is exactly 3 times greater than the area of the current pasture.
The farmer claims that dilating the pasture by a scale factor of 3 with the center of dilation at one corner of the
pasture will accomplish her goal.
