Redraw the same shape with multiplying each length of the shape by the scale factor.
If you are enlarging through a centre of enlargement, measure the distance from each point (vertex) to the centre and continuing on a straight line through the centre, measure that distance multiplied by the scale factor and plot the point there, drawing in the lines of the shape.
When doing this on squared paper, the measurement of the distance can often be easily done by counting the squares horizontally and vertically from the point to the centre, and count each of these values multiplied by the scale factor on the other side of the centre point.
For example, a point (1, 0) enlarged by a scale factor of 2 through the centre (2, 3) would be plotted at:
- Horizontal distance is 2 - 1 = 1 squares, times 2 = 2 squares horizontally beyond (2, 3) which makes the new x co-ordinate 2 + 2 = 4
- Vertical distance is 3 - 0 = 3 squares, times 2 = 6 squares vertically beyond (2, 3) which makes the new y co-ordinate 3 + 6 = 9
Making (1, 0) → (4, 9)

What happens if you enlarge a shape by a negative number?
it goes upside down
When you enlarge a shape does it always get bigger?
Yes, when you enlarge a shape, it always increases in size while maintaining its proportions. The dimensions of the shape are scaled up by a specific factor, resulting in a larger figure. However, the overall shape and angles remain unchanged, so the enlargement preserves the original shape's characteristics.
When you enlarge the sides of a shape to twice their original size the perimeter of the enlargement is times as large as the perimeter of the original shape.?
The perimeter is also twice as large.
How do you enlarge a shape?
mesure the distance from the point to a corner, then keep going for distance * scale do it for each corner
When you enlarge something on a photocopy machine is that image a dilation?
Yes, when you enlarge an image on a photocopy machine, it can be considered a dilation. Dilation in geometry refers to the transformation that changes the size of a figure while maintaining its shape and proportions. In the case of photocopying, the enlarged image retains the same shape and relative dimensions as the original, making it an example of dilation.

215 sf
In maths how do you enlarge a shape by the scale factor of 1?
if you multiply all the points by one you get the same points so the shape stays the same.
