Match each word with it's proper defintion.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Center of Dilation		A fixed point from which a dilation is generated
Enlargement		When the scale factor is greater than 1, the image created is larger than the pre-image
Reduction		When the scale factor is less than 1, the image created is smaller than the pre-image

Required

Match each word with it's proper defintion.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Similar		Transformations that produce figures that are the same shape as the original figure, but not the necessarily the same size
Dilation		The ratio of the distance of the new figure from the center of dilation to the distance of the original figure from the center of dilation. Written as a fraction of the new figure compared to the original figure.
Scale Factor		When two figures ratios of corresponding side lengths are equal
