1. **State the problem:**
Rowan wants to enlarge a shape using the origin $O$ as the center. The ratio of the length $OA$ to the length $OA'$ is $2:1$. Given point $A$ at coordinates $(6,6)$, find both possible coordinates of $A'$.
2. **Understand the ratio and enlargement:**
The ratio $OA : OA' = 2 : 1$ means the length from the origin to $A'$ is half the length from the origin to $A$.
3. **Formula for enlargement about the origin:**
If $A = (x,y)$ and the scale factor is $k$, then $A' = (kx, ky)$.
4. **Calculate the scale factor:**
Since $OA : OA' = 2 : 1$, the scale factor $k = \frac{1}{2}$.
5. **Calculate $A'$ coordinates:**
$$A' = \left(\frac{1}{2} \times 6, \frac{1}{2} \times 6\right) = (3, 3)$$
6. **Consider the other possible pair:**
Enlargement can also be a reduction with a negative scale factor, reflecting $A$ through the origin.
7. **Calculate $A'$ with negative scale factor:**
$$A' = \left(-\frac{1}{2} \times 6, -\frac{1}{2} \times 6\right) = (-3, -3)$$
**Final answer:**
The two possible coordinates of $A'$ are $(3, 3)$ and $(-3, -3)$.
