This video tutorial covers the concept of dilations in geometry, explaining how a scale factor is used to enlarge or reduce figures. It demonstrates graphing and dilating various shapes, including triangles and quadrilaterals, using different scale factors. The tutorial emphasizes the effect of scale factors greater than one, which enlarge figures, and those less than one, which reduce them.

What does a dilation in geometry refer to?

• Rotating a figure around a fixed point

• A transformation that changes a figure's size

• Reflecting a figure over a line

• A shift of a figure along a straight line
