What is a dilation?

• The process of making a polygon larger or smaller without changing its shape

• The process of making a polygon move up, down, left, or right without changing its shape or size

• The process of making a polygon flip over an invisible line without changing its shape or size

• The process of making a polygon turn along quadrants without changing its shape or size
