Dilations

A scale factor uses variable:

• s

• k

• a

• c

Select all of the properties of SIMILARITY (There are 3).

• Corresponding angles congruent

• Corresponding side length ratios are congruent

• Same shape, different sizes

• Same position

Which property is ONLY for dilations?

• Corresponding angles congruent

• Corresponding side length ratios are congruent

• Same shape, different sizes

• Same position

Is the following a dilation?

• Yes

• No

Assuming that the lengths of the sides have congruent ratios, can the following be a dilation?

• No, because the shapes are facing different directions

• No, because the angles will not be congruent

• Yes, because the triangles would meet all the requirements of dilations.

• Yes, because the triangles would be congruent.

Answer explanation

Fun fact, all circles are similar to one another, and unless points are labeled to rotate it, they are usually dilations as well.

In order to see if sides have equal ratios given coordinates, you can find the value that ​ (a)   to get the new coordinates. If these ratios are all the same, this number is called the ​ (b)   .
