Which word describes the type of change if k > 1?
Which word describes the type of change if 0 < k < 1?
Which word describes the type of change if k = 1?
You may have noticed that multiplying each x and y coordinate in the pre-image would generate the corresponding points in the image.
We write this pattern like this: (x , y) ----> (kx , ky)
(x , y) is the pre-image point and (kx , ky) is the image point under a dilation.
All similar figures are the same shape because angle measure, betweeness, collinearity is preserved (unchanged). Distance is only preserved in similar figures that are also congruent. This means that dilations that don't have a k value of 1 are non-rigid.
The notation for the similar triangles in Transformation #1 is written below where corresponding parts are in the same position in the triangle name similar to the way congruence statements are written. The pre-image is listed first in the similarity statement.
Every dilation or scale change has a center. Where is the center of every scale change?
The pre-image, image points and the center of the dilation are all collinear (on the same line).
Under a scale change, corresponding angle pairs are. . .
Under a scale change, corresponding side lengths are always. . .
Under a scale change, any pair of corresponding pre-image sides and images sides are parallel.
Under a scale change, the ratio of any corresponding pair of image sides lengths and pre-image side lengths will NOT always equal the scale factor.
The perimeter ratio and area ratio are always equal.
The perimeter ratio is equal to the scale factor.
The area ratio is equal to the scale factor.
The area ratio is equal to the square of the scale factor.
Based on these observations, it seems that the volume ratio will be equal to the _______________ of the scale factor.
