Exploring Dilation in Geometry

The video tutorial introduces the concept of dilation in geometry, explaining how it involves resizing objects. It provides two examples: one with a scale factor of three, enlarging a triangle, and another with a scale factor of one-third, reducing the triangle's size. The tutorial demonstrates the process of multiplying coordinates by the scale factor to achieve dilation and concludes with a prompt to subscribe for more math tutorials.

What does dilation in mathematics refer to?

• Making an object bigger or smaller

• Rotating an object

• Shifting an object's position

• Changing the color of an object

What happens when the scale factor is greater than one?

• The object becomes smaller

• The object remains the same size

• The object rotates

• The object becomes larger

What is the result of dilating an object with a scale factor of one?

• The object becomes half its size

• The object remains unchanged

• The object disappears

• The object becomes twice as large

What is the primary purpose of dilation in mathematics?

• To adjust the size of an object

• To move an object to a different location

• To calculate the area of an object

• To change the shape of an object

How do you calculate the new coordinates after dilation with a scale factor of three?

• Multiply each coordinate by three

• Subtract three from each coordinate

• Add three to each coordinate

• Divide each coordinate by three

What are the new coordinates of point A after dilation with a scale factor of three?

• (0, 0)

• (3, 3)

• (9, 9)

• (6, 6)

What is the effect of a scale factor less than one on an object?

• It changes the object's color

• It makes the object rotate

• It enlarges the object

• It reduces the object's size

Which point remains unchanged when multiplied by zero during dilation?

• None of the points

• Point C

• Point B

• Point A

After dilating with a scale factor of one-third, what is the new coordinate of point C?

• (0, -2)

• (2, 3)

• (1, 2)

• (-1, -1)

How do you find the new coordinates when dilating with a scale factor of one-third?

• Multiply each coordinate by one-third

• Divide each coordinate by three

• Add one-third to each coordinate

• Subtract one-third from each coordinate
