Geometric dilation (size change, typically expansion) does not change the shape of a figure, or its center location, only the size.

Is a scale factor of 1 a dilation?

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.

Which type of transformation uses a scale factor?

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.


Does dilation change in orientation?

No, it doesn't change orientation because the coordinates do not change weather they are going clockwise or counter clockwise

What does the math term dilation mean?

In mathematics, dilation refers to a transformation that alters the size of a geometric figure while keeping its shape and proportions intact. It involves scaling the figure up or down from a fixed point known as the center of dilation, using a scale factor that determines how much the figure is enlarged or reduced. Dilation can be applied in various contexts, including geometry and coordinate transformations.
