When is our first quiz for Unit 2: Dilations? 

TOMORROW!!!

200

To "slide" a figure.

Translation

200

A dilation might change the size of a figure's side lengths but never the _______.

angles

200

What transformations can be used to prove similarity. 

List them all!

1) Translations

2) Rotations

3) Reflections

4) Dilations

200

These two triangles are similar.  Find the Value of a/b, if the scale factor is 2. 


a = 2.8

b = 4.2

200

The sum of all interior angles in a triangle will always equal this number.

180^o

300

To "turn" a figure.

Rotation

300

Dilations always produce ___________ figures.

similar

300

If the scale factor is greater than 1 (ex:2) then the dilated image is ______________ from the original figure. 

Enlarged

300

Congruent figures are _____ similar. 

(sometimes, always)

always

300

Similar or not similar?



Not similar - angles are not the same.

400

Describing a rotation requires these three things. 

1) Center (Point)

2) Rotation angle (Degrees)

3) Direction (Clockwise or Counterclockwise)

400

Dilations need these two things.

1) Center Point of Dilation
2) Scale Factor

400

If the scale factor is less than 1 (ex:1/4) then the dilated image is ____________ from the original figure. 

Reduced

400

Similar figures are ____ congruent. 

(sometimes, always)

sometimes

400

Find the scale factor.  Figure EFGH is the original.


Scale factor = 2

500
Describing a dilation will always require these three things:
1. The coordinates of the vertices (points) of a shape

2. The scale factor

3. The coordinates of the center

500

How will dilating a figure with a scale factor of 1/3 change a figure? How many times bigger or smaller will it get?

It will make the figure 3 times smaller from the center of dilation. 

500

Dilations can result in a congruent figure if their scale factor is this number. 

1

500

These two triangles are similar. Find the missing side lengths.


s=12

What is the value of X and Y when the scale factor is 1/4?


X= 32  (8x4)

Y= 9    (36x1/4) or (36/4)

600

What is the scale factor of this dilation:

3

600

Describe this dilation:

This is a reduction. The center of dilation is (0,0) and the scale factor is 1/5.  *Double points for naming the original coordinate points!*

600

Describe this dilation:

This is an enlargement. The center is at (-5, 1) and the scale factor is 3. *Double points for naming the vertices!*

600

What is the scale factor for this reduction? 

1/2
600

Are honey possums, possums? ...And do they eat honey? 

No! They aren't possums and they don't eat honey. They are DELIGHTFULLY ADORABLE THOUGH!!
