Understanding Dilations and Their Properties

The video explores how the properties of shapes change under dilation. It examines whether coordinates, line segments, angle measures, side lengths, perimeter, and area are preserved. The video demonstrates that while angle measures are preserved, coordinates, side lengths, perimeter, and area are not. It also discusses the effects of dilation when centered at a vertex, showing that some line segments remain on the same line while others do not.

What happens to the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation?

• They become negative.

• They double in value.

• They change to new coordinates.

• They remain unchanged.

When a line segment is dilated, under what condition does it remain on the same line?

• If the dilation center is on the segment.

• If the segment is horizontal.

• If the segment is vertical.

• If the segment is parallel to the x-axis.

Are angle measures preserved during a dilation?

• Only if the center of dilation is at the origin.

• Only if the dilation is uniform.

• No, they are never preserved.

• Yes, they are always preserved.
