    Geometry concepts like dilation, congruency, and similarity are fundamental to tennis. Dilation refers to the expansion or compression of shapes on a plane, such as how tennis service boxes relate to the overall court size minus lines. Congruency means shapes have the same area, perimeter, and line lengths, as with tennis service boxes. The service boxes and overall court are not similar since they do not have the same proportions despite different dimensions. Tennis also uses a limited coordinate plane of length and width to represent points on the court.

    Ge metry

    Is Fundamental to
    Tennis!
    Vocabulary
    Dilation : The expansion or
    compression of an
    object/shape on a plane
    (service boxescourt minus
    lines)
    Congruency : Shapes having
    same area, perimeter and line
    lengths (such as the service
    boxes)
    Similarity: Figures having
    the same proportions, but
    different dimensions (the
    service boxes and court are
    NOT similar)
    Limited Coordinate Plane:
    A space of length and width
    (no height) on a plane that
    represents a range of points
