Geometry 4-4 Dilations
Goals • Identify and perform dilations. • Solve real-life problems involving scale factors and dilations.
4-4 Dilations A dilation is a transformation in which a figure is enlarged or reduced with respect to a fixed point.
4-4 Dilations A dilation is a transformation in which a figure is enlarged or reduced with respect to a fixed point C called the center of dilation and a scale factor k, which is the ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of the image and the preimage.
Ex. 1 Enlargement or Reduction 1. Find the scale factor. 2. Determine if the image is enlarged or reduced.
