What happens when the center of dilation is a vertex of the shape?

It remains fixed in position and all the other vertices move towards or away from it depending on whether the scale factor is less than 1 or greater than one.

Does dilation change the shape?
Geometric dilation (size change, typically expansion) does not change the shape of a figure, or its center location, only the size.
Not a shape it has one vertex angle of the vertex is 90 degrees what shape is it?
L shape
What shape has no vertex?
A circle does not have a vertex.
What is the proper name for the corner of a shape?
a vertex
What is a diagonal in a shape?
A diagonal in a shape is a straight line from one vertex to another vertex (corner).
A coner on a shape?
it is a vertex
What does a convex polygon look like?
A chevron. Basically, any polygon with an acute angle whose vertex points to the center of the shape.
What is the relationship between the vertices of a shape the scale factor and the center of dilation?
None. The vertices, the scale factor as well as the centre of dilation can each be defined independently of the other two. Each different combination will result in a different image.
What is the Vertex of a shape?
A vertex is when 2 edges meet and make a curved line.
What are verticis?
Nothing. Vertices is the plural term from vertex. A vertex is a point where two or more lines meet. They usually terminate (end) there but don't have to. In a 2- or 3-dimensional shape a vertex is a corner.
What shape has 6 sides and 5 vertex?

A corner on a 3D shape?
