Transformations

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

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

• True
• False

The __________ is the ratio of a length of the new figure to the corresponding length on the original figure.

• reduction
• enlargement
• scale factor
• center of dilation

State the coordinate of the image of the given point B (4,9) under a dilation with center at the origin with the given scale factor of 2.

• B' (2 , 4.5)

• B' (-8 ,-18)

• B' (8 ,18)

• B' (9 ,4)

What scale factor was used to produce the image?

• 2
• -2
• ¹/₂
• 1

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)

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2
• 3
• 1/3
• 1/2

If the scale factor is less than one, the new figure will be

• an enlargement
• a reduction
• a scale factor
• bigger

If the scale factor is greater than one, the new figure will be

• a reduction
• an enlargement
• a scale
• not proportional
