The scale factor is the ratio of any side of the image and the corresponding side of the original figure.
No a scale factor of 1 is not a dilation because, in a dilation it must remain the same shape, which it would, but the size must either enlarge or shrink.
Center and Scale Factor....
A scale factor of one means that there is no change in size.
It is (2.5x, 2.5y) where P =(x,y).
It is (2.5x, 2.5y) where P =(x,y).
Image over preimage(original)
The dilation of 22 with scale factor 2.5 is 55.The formula for finding a dilation with a scale factor is x' = kx (k = scale factor), so x' = 2.5(22) = 55.
The type of dilation that occurs with a scale factor of 14 is enlargement. Any time the scale factor is larger than 1, it is enlargement.
No a scale factor of 1 is not a dilation because, in a dilation it must remain the same shape, which it would, but the size must either enlarge or shrink.
Center and Scale Factor....
A diliation is a reduction if the scale factor is: less than 1.
greater then 1
A dilation with a scale factor of 0.5 reduces the size of the figure to half its original dimensions, resulting in a smaller figure. In contrast, a dilation with a scale factor of 2 enlarges the figure to twice its original dimensions, creating a larger figure. Therefore, the two dilations produce figures that are similar in shape but differ significantly in size, with the scale factor of 2 yielding a figure that is four times the area of the figure dilated by 0.5.
To determine whether a dilation is a reduction or an enlargement, compare the scale factor to 1. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the dilation is an enlargement, as the image will be larger than the original. Conversely, if the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the dilation is a reduction, resulting in a smaller image. Additionally, you can observe the distances from the center of dilation; if they increase, it's an enlargement, and if they decrease, it's a reduction.
A similarity transformation uses a scale factor to enlarge or reduce the size of a figure while preserving its shape. It includes transformations such as dilation and similarity.
