What is the scale factor that you must use to map FROG to F'R'O'G'?

Answer explanation

FROG is the larger figure and the preimage. F'R'O'G' is the smaller figure and the new image. This means the figure was dilated by a value less than 1 in order to get smaller.

The side lengths on F'R'O'G' are all half as long as those of FROG. This means FROG must have been dilated by

$\frac{1}{2}$ (or 0.5)

What would be the coordinates of the new image after the following sequence of transformations is applied to Point B(3, 2):
1. Dilate by a scale factor of 3 from the origin
2. Translate 3 units down

• B''(9, -1)

• B''(9, 6)

• B''(9, 3)

• B''(6, 6)

• B''(6, 3)

Answer explanation

B(3, 2):

1. Dilate by a scale factor of 3 from the origin (multiply the coordinates by 3) B'(9,6)

2. Translate 3 units down (subtract 3 from the y-coordinate) B''(9,3)

In order to prove that two figures are congruent, I must show that I can map one to the other using the following transformations (select all that apply):

• Translation

• Rotation

• Reflection

• Dilation

Answer explanation

Congruent figures have the same shape AND size. This means all side lengths are equal. If a dilation is applied, that means the image and preimage are not the same size and therefore not congruent.
