Scale Factor from Two Images

Dilations create SIMILAR figures, which means the dimensions (side lengths) of the images must be...

• proportional ratios

• exactly the same

• even numbers

• odd numbers

SCALE FACTOR describes the number that is multiplied by a pre-image that determines...

• how many times bigger an image gets

• how many times smaller an image gets

• how many times bigger or smaller an image gets

Why does the scale factor of "1" NOT result in a dilation?

• making an image 1 times larger would not change its size, therefore it would remain the same/congruent image

• 1 cannot be a scale factor because it is not a fraction

• 1 cannot be a scale factor because it is not a decimal

Enlargement or reduction?  Find the scale factor!

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 2.

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 2.

• It's an enlargement; the scale factor is 1/2.

• It's a reduction; the scale factor is 1/2.
