Move the cursors in the box below and get an understanding for what a 'dilation' is in geometry.
Below is a more formal version of a dilation. Let's take a closer look at exactly what is going on here!

The origin (0,0) has an effect on the size of the image.
True
False

A dilation will result in an object congruent to the original.
Always
Never
Only when SF = 1
Which transformation changes the orientation (order of the letters) in the shape?
reflection
rotation
dilation
Translation
What does is it mean to have a dilation factor of 3 ?
The image is 1/3 of the size of the pre image
The pre-image is 3 times the size of the image
The image is 3 times the size of the pre image
They are both the same size of 3 units
Use a graphboard to model and answer the question.
Start with the point A(2, 3) and dilate the point by a factor of 4 about the origin (0,0).
What are the coordinates of A' which is the image under this dilation?
(1/2, 3/2)
(6, 7)
(4, 4)
(8, 12)
