Exploring Sequences and Dilations

What is the first step to identify the series of transformations in the given problem?

• Check the orientation of the shapes

• Identify the pre-image and image

• Determine the type of transformation

• Find the scale factor

If a shape gets smaller, what type of transformation is it?

• Reduction

• Enlargement

• Translation

• Reflection

In the first example, what was the scale factor used for the dilation?

• 1

• 2

• 1/2

• 1/4

In the second example, what indicates that the transformation was an enlargement?

• The shape got smaller

• The shape rotated

• The shape got bigger

• The shape reflected

After determining the scale factor in the second example, what was the next step?

• Check if it was a rotation

• Check if it was a reflection

• Find the new coordinates

• Determine the type of transformation

In the third example, what was the scale factor found using the side lengths?

• 1

• 2

• 1/2

• 1/4

What transformation was identified after the dilation in the third example?

• Enlargement

• Reflection

• Translation

• Rotation

How do you determine the scale factor using side lengths?

• Divide the new length by the original length

• Divide the original length by the new length

• Subtract the new length from the original length

• Multiply the original length by the new length

What is the importance of eliminating options in multiple choice questions?

• It reduces accuracy

• It increases confusion

• It is not important

• It saves time

What should you focus on when both scale factors are the same in multiple choice options?

• The scale factor

• The type of transformation

• The orientation

• The coordinates
