In a dilation, a figure and its image are similar but not necessarily congruent. The image is a scaled version of the original figure, enlarged or reduced based on a scale factor.

What does k mean in dilation?

In dilation, "k" refers to the scale factor that determines how much a shape is enlarged or reduced. If k is greater than 1, the shape is enlarged; if k is between 0 and 1, the shape is reduced. The dilation is centered at a specific point, often called the center of dilation, which affects the positioning of the transformed shape. Thus, "k" directly influences the size and proportion of the original figure.
