What is a congruence transformation?

Back

A congruence transformation is a geometric transformation that preserves the shape and size of a figure, meaning the original figure and its image are congruent.

What is dilation in geometry?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that alters the size of a figure by a scale factor, either enlarging or reducing it.

How do you calculate the image of a point after dilation?

Back

To find the image of a point after dilation, multiply the coordinates of the original point by the scale factor.
