Math Problem Statement
Solution
The two images you uploaded relate to dilations in geometry. Let's work through the problems together.
Explanation of Dilations:
A dilation is a transformation that enlarges or reduces a figure by a scale factor, with respect to a fixed point known as the center of dilation, which in these cases is the origin .
The formula for dilation is: Where:
- are the coordinates after dilation,
- is the scale factor,
- are the original coordinates before dilation.
Now, let's go through the specific exercises from the worksheets.
First Worksheet: Graph the pre-image and the image of the figure
1. Dilation of 2 about the origin
Points:
For a dilation of 2, multiply both and coordinates of each point by 2:
2. Dilation of 5 about the origin
Points:
For a dilation of 5:
3. Dilation of 0.5 about the origin
Points:
For a dilation of 0.5:
4. Dilation of 2 about the origin
Points:
For a dilation of 2:
Second Worksheet: Find the coordinates of the image after the transformation
5. Dilation of about the origin
Points:
For a dilation of :
6. Dilation of 5 about the origin
Points:
For a dilation of 5:
7. Dilation of 1.5 about the origin
Points:

8. Dilation of 2 about the origin
Points:
For a dilation of 2:
Would you like further explanation on any of these problems? Here are 5 questions to explore the concept further:
- How would the dilation change if the center was not the origin?
- What happens when the scale factor is negative?
- Can you explain the effect of a dilation with a scale factor between 0 and 1?
- How do dilations affect the area of a figure?
- What is the relationship between the original shape and its image after dilation?
Tip:
Always multiply both the and coordinates by the scale factor to correctly calculate the image points under dilation.
