Perform dilations

The  exercise appears under the 8th grade (U.S.) Math Mission and Geometry Math Mission. This exercise practices dilations on the coordinate plane.

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


 * 1) Use the dilate tool to dilate, then complete the sentences.: This problem provides a coordinate grid and a dilation problem. The student is expected to find the line that can be used to reflect one preimage into the other image, then fill in the blanks to complete the sentences below.Perform dilations.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.

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.
