    The document defines a dilation as a geometric transformation that produces an image of the same shape as the original but of a different size, with the center of dilation being the point about which a figure is dilated. It notes that under dilation, a figure is either reduced or enlarged depending on whether the scale factor is less than or greater than 1, providing a table to calculate scale factors from corresponding points in the original and transformed figures.

    Original Description:

    Dilations Name: ________________________

    BASIC INFORMATION:

     A dilation is a transformation that produces and image that is the same ________________ as
    the original but is a different ________________.
     A center of dilation is the point about which a figure is dilated. (We will only use the origin as our
    center of dilation.)
     A figure that has been dilated has just been multiplied by a scale factor (k). The dilation is a
    reduction if k _________ and an enlargement if k _________.
    Use the table below to figure out the scale factor and then complete it for the rest of the points.
    A (4,10) A’ ( 2, 5)
    B (10, 10) B’ ( , )
    Scale Factor = _________
    C (12, 8) C’ ( , )
    D (10, 6) D’ ( , )
    E (4, 6) E’ ( , )
