Mastering Dilations in Geometry

What happens to a shape when the scale factor is set to 3?

• The shape becomes three times smaller.

• The shape's size remains unchanged.

• The shape rotates.

• The shape becomes three times larger.

How does changing the scale factor to 3 affect the angle measures of a shape?

• Angle measures triple.

• Angle measures remain unchanged.

• Angle measures become zero.

• Angle measures are halved.

What is the new size of the shape when the scale factor is adjusted to 0.5?

• Three times the original size.

• Twice the original size.

• The same as the original size.

• Half the original size.

What is the effect of a scale factor less than 1 on the size of the shape?

• It keeps the shape size unchanged.

• It makes the shape larger.

• It makes the shape smaller.

• It rotates the shape.

What happens to the size of the shape when the scale factor is increased?

• It becomes undefined.

• It decreases.

• It remains constant.

• It increases.

Where do the dilation rays intersect?

• At the center of dilation.

• Outside the shape.

• At the center of rotation.

• At the origin.

What is the role of the center of dilation in a dilation transformation?

• It has no significant role.

• It determines the shape's color.

• It is the fixed point around which the shape dilates.

• It determines the shape's rotation.

Does the multiplicative relationship between coordinates change when the center of dilation moves?

• Yes, it increases.

• No, it remains the same.

• Yes, it becomes unpredictable.

• Yes, it decreases.

How does the distance between the center of dilation and the image compare to the distance between the center of dilation and the pre-image?

• It is shorter.

• It is longer.

• It is the same.

• It depends on the scale factor.

What is the significance of the distance comparison between the center of dilation, pre-image, and image?

• It changes the shape's color.

• It determines the shape's perimeter.

• It helps in calculating the area of the shape.

• It illustrates the scale factor's effect on size.
