Unit 7 Lesson 8.7: Dilations

CC STANDARDS

SRT 1: Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor.

GMD 5: Know that the effect of a scale factor k greater than zero on length is to multiply by k; determine length using scale factors.

LESSON GOALS

• Define and identify a dilation as an

enlargement or a reduction.

• Use properties of dilations to solve for

variables.• Draw a dilation given

the scale factor. ESLRs: Becoming Effective Communicators, Competent Learners and Complex Thinkers

definition

IsometryA transformation that preserves lengths. Also known as a “rigid” transformation. (Figures remain congruent)

Reflections, rotations and translations are all isometries.

definition

Scale FactorThe ratio of the lengths of two corresponding sides for similar polygons

Describing a Dilation scale factor center of dilation

a fixed point in the plane about which all points are expanded or contracted.

In a reduction, the image is between the center and the preimage.

definitionDescribing a Dilation

Scale factor can be found by comparing corresponding side lengths Or by comparing the distance from the center to corresponding points Always compare the image to the preimage
