Dilations

A dilation is which of the following: 

• only an enlargement
• only a reduction
• Either an enlargement or a reduction
• Neither an enlargement or a reduction

A dilation produces a congruent figure

• True

• False

The point (8, 12) was dilated to become point (2, 3). What was the scale factor?

• ½
• ¼
• 4
• 2

State the coordinate of the image of the given point B (-10,-6) under a dilation with center at the origin with the given scale factor k = 1/2.

• (5,3)
• (20,12)
• (-20,-12)
• (-5,-3)

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2
• 3
• 1/3
• 1/2

If your SF = 6/5, what type of dilation is it?

• Reduction

• Enlargement

When the scale factor of a dilation is less than one, the dilation is a reduction.

• True
• False

When a dilation has a scale factor greater than one, the dilation is an enlargement.

• True
• False

A dilation produces a similar 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)
