The blue figure is a dilation image of the black figure with center of dilation C. Is the dilation an enlargement or a reduction? What is the scale factor of the dilation?
A dilation has center (0, 0). Find the image of each point for the given scale factor.
Error Analysis The blue figure is a dilation image of the black figure for a dilation with center A.
Two students made errors when asked to find the scale factor. Explain and correct their errors.
A Practice
See Problem 1.
The blue figure is a dilation image of the black figure. The labeled point is the center of dilation. Tell whether the dilation is an enlargement or a reduction. Then find the scale factor of the dilation.
