100

To "flip" a figure.

Reflection

100

True or False? Dilations always make a figure smaller. 

False

100

Is a dilation of 3/2 an enlargement or reduction?


Enlargement (Gets bigger)

100

Draw an example of similar squares. Side lengths MUST be included! 


100

Give a real life example of a non-rigid transformation. 

Examples: any dilation that takes place OR scaled copy of an image

-When the doctor dilates your eye.

-When you cast a shadow using the sun or a flashlight. 

-When you zoom in and out on an image- using the computer. 

200

To "slide" a figure.

Translation

200

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

angles

200

If the image is dilated at (0,0) with a scale factor of 4. Find the new order pairs:

A (-3,6)        A'  (     )

B (6,1)       B'   (     )


A (3,6)        A'  ( -12, 24)

B (6,1)       B'   ( 24, 4)

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

preserves a figure's shape but no necessarily the size

non-rigid transformation

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

a fixed reference point on a plane used as the anchor to resize a figure larger or smaller. 

center of dilation

400

What are TWO things you need to know when dilating a figure?

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

What happens to the angles when you enlarge a figure?

They stay the same. 

400

Find the scale factor.  Figure JKLM is the original.


Scale factor = 1/2

500

The ratio of a new, scaled measurement to the corresponding measurement of the original object. 

new divided by original

scaled factor

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.
