Dilations

Dilations

1. When you resize a shape it gets bigger or smaller but it looks similar.

2. All angles stay the same.

   • Relative sizes are the same.

3. Multiply both coordinates by scale factor.

   • Simplify
     • Graph
   • The amount by which the image grows or shrinks.
     • In dilation, multiply the dimensions of the original by the scale factor to get the dimension of the image.

4. A transformation in which a polygon is enlarged or reduced by a given factor around a given center point.
