Dilations

A dilation produces a similar figure

• True

• False

When the scale factor of a dilation is less than one, the dilation is a reduction (gets smaller).

• True

• False

An image is dilated at a scale factor of 1.5. This means the dilation is an enlargement and the dilated image will be bigger.

• True

• False

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2

• 3

• 1/3

• 1/2

Dilate Point B by a scale factor of 3:

• (12,0)

• (12,12)

• (4,3)

• (0,12)

Does the image show a dilation?

• Yes

• No

A dilation is which of the following:

• an enlargement

• a reduction

• Either an enlargement or a reduction

• Neither an enlargement or a reduction

Does the image show a Dilation?

• Yes

• No

A dilation produces a congruent figure

• True

• False

Dilate the figure by a scale factor of 3 with the origin as the center of dilation. What are the coordinates of the image?
A(3,3) B(6,6) C(9,3)

• A'(9,9) B'(18,18) C'(27,9)

• A'(6,6) B'(9,9) C'(12,6)

• A'(0,0) B'(3,3) C'(6,0)

• A'(1,1) B'(2,2) C'(3,1)
