What is a scale factor in dilation?

Back

A scale factor is a number that describes how much a figure is enlarged or reduced during a dilation.

Front

If the scale factor is less than 1, what type of transformation occurs?

Back

A reduction occurs when the scale factor is less than 1.

Front

What happens to the dimensions of a figure when it is dilated by a scale factor greater than 1?

Back

The dimensions of the figure increase, resulting in an enlargement.

Front

What is the scale factor if a point (8, 12) is dilated to (2, 3)?

Back

The scale factor is 1/4.

Front

True or False: A dilation produces congruent figures.

Back

False. A dilation produces similar figures, not congruent figures.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A(3,3) after dilation by a scale factor of 3?

Back

A'(9,9).

Front

What is the scale factor if the original figure is reduced to half its size?

Back

The scale factor is 1/2.

Front

If a figure is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, what happens to its area?

Back

The area increases by a factor of 2^2 = 4.

Front

What is the effect of a scale factor of 1 on a figure?

Back

A scale factor of 1 means the figure remains unchanged.

Front

How do you determine if a dilation is a reduction or enlargement?

Back

If the scale factor is less than 1, it is a reduction; if greater than 1, it is an enlargement.
