Draw the image of a dilation

The  exercise appears under the Geometry Math Mission. This exercise practices dilations on the coordinate plane.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Draw the image of the dilation: This problem provides a figure on a coordinate plane. The student is expected to create the image of the figure dilated with the given scale factor. Draw the image of a dilation.PNG

Strategies
Knowledge of the coordinate plane and geometric transformations, particularly dilations, are encouraged to ensure success on this exercise.
 * 1) A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size.
 * 2) Since a dilation enlarges or reduces the side lengths of a figure by the scale factor, students can find the images of the other figure by finding the lengths of the quadrilateral enlarging them by the given scale factor.

Real-life Applications

 * 1) In crime shows, investigators use computers to dilate photographs, and the larger pictures yield information about license plates, addresses, or criminals.
