Dilation in Geometry Concepts

The video tutorial covers the concept of dilations in geometry, focusing on how to graph images after dilation with the origin as the center. It provides an example using triangle ABC with a scale factor of 3, demonstrating how to calculate new coordinates. The tutorial also explains how to draw lines through the center of dilation and check their alignment. Finally, it presents a problem involving the dilation of triangle XYZ with a scale factor of 1/3, including the creation of an algebraic rule to describe the transformation.

What is the primary focus of dilations in geometry?

• Resizing an object while maintaining its shape

• Altering the color of an object

• Rotating an object around a point

• Changing the shape of an object

Where can the center of dilation be located?

• Only at the origin

• Anywhere on the coordinate plane

• Only outside the original image

• Only inside the original image

What is the scale factor used in the example with triangle ABC?

• 1/3

• 1/2

• 2

• 3

How do you calculate the new coordinates for a point after dilation?

• Add the scale factor to each coordinate

• Divide each coordinate by the scale factor

• Subtract the scale factor from each coordinate

• Multiply each coordinate by the scale factor

What is the new coordinate for point A after dilation with a scale factor of 3?

• (1, 1)

• (3, 3)

• (0, 0)

• (9, 9)

What is the purpose of drawing and connecting the dilated points?

• To verify the dilation process

• To change the shape of the figure

• To rotate the figure

• To color the figure

Why is it important to check the alignment of line segments through the center?

• To rotate the figure

• To change the size of the figure

• To verify the dilation is accurate

• To ensure the lines are parallel

What is the scale factor used for the new problem with triangle XYZ?

• 2

• 1/3

• 3

• 1/2

What is the algebraic rule for dilating a point with a scale factor of 1/3?

• (x, y) -> (x/3, y/3)

• (x, y) -> (3x, 3y)

• (x, y) -> (x-3, y-3)

• (x, y) -> (x+3, y+3)

What are the new coordinates for point X after dilation with a scale factor of 1/3?

• (0, 0)

• (9, 9)

• (1, 1)

• (3, 3)
