Why are dilations similar to scale drawings?

Dilations are similar to scale drawings because both involve resizing an object while maintaining its proportional dimensions. In a dilation, each point of the original figure is moved away from a center point by a scale factor, resulting in a similar figure that retains the same shape. Similarly, scale drawings use a specific ratio to enlarge or reduce the size of an object, ensuring that all dimensions remain proportional. Thus, both processes create figures that are geometrically similar.
