To "flip" a figure over a line
Reflection
True or False? Dilations always make a figure smaller.
False
Is a dilation of 7/5 an enlargement or reduction?
Enlargement (Gets bigger)
What does it mean for two figures to be similar?
They have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; corresponding angles are equal and side lengths are proportional.
Point A (2,3) becomes A' (10,15) after dilation.
What is the scale factor?
5
To "slide" a figure.
Translation
A dilation might change the size of a figure's side lengths but never the _______.
angles
What transformations can be used to prove similarity.
List them all!
1) Translations
2) Rotations
3) Reflections
4) Dilations
Point A has the coordinates (4, -3). What is the scale factor used if the new coordinates are (2, - 3/2)?
Scale factor = 1/2 or 0.5
A triangle has sides 6, 8, 10.
A similar triangle has sides 3, 4, x.
Find x.
5
To "turn" a figure clockwise or counter clockwise
Rotation
Dilations always produce ___________ figures.
similar
If the scale factor is greater than 1 (ex:2) then the dilated image is ______________ from the original figure.
Enlarged
Congruent figures are _____ similar.
(sometimes, always)
always

1) Direction
2) Distance
What is a scale factor?
The number that tells how much a figure is enlarged or reduced.
If the scale factor is less than 1 (ex:1/4) then the dilated image is ____________ from the original figure.
Reduced
What must be true about corresponding angles in similar figures?
They are equal.

List all of the algebraic rules for rotations around the origin. ie. (x, y) --> ( x, y) (360 degree rotation)
(x, y) --> ( x, y) 360 rotation
(x, y) --> ( -x, -y) 180 rotation
(x, y) --> (y, -x) 90 clockwise/270 counter clockwise
(x, y) --> (-x,y) 90 counter clockwise/270 clockwise
If a square is dilated using a scale factor of 2, how many times larger will the area of the new square be?
4 times larger
Dilations can result in a congruent figure if their scale factor is this number.
1
