Dilation is a transformation that alters the size of a figure while maintaining its shape and proportions, which directly relates to similarity in geometry. When a figure undergoes dilation, the resulting image is similar to the original figure, meaning corresponding angles remain the same and corresponding sides are in proportion. This property of dilation ensures that similar shapes can be created by scaling up or down without distorting their fundamental characteristics. Thus, dilation is a key method for establishing similarity between geometric figures.
Similarity.
Dilation
A dilation transformation cannot be used to prove that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF because dilation changes the size of a figure while maintaining its shape. Congruence requires that two figures have the same size and shape, which means all corresponding sides and angles must be equal. Since dilation alters side lengths, it cannot demonstrate congruence, only similarity.
The term for imperfect dilation is "hypodilation." It refers to a condition where dilation does not occur fully or adequately, which can affect various physiological functions, such as the dilation of blood vessels or pupils.

Similarity.
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.
false
Non-examples of dilation would include transformations such as translation, rotation, and reflection. These transformations do not involve changing the size of the figure, only its position or orientation. Another non-example would be a similarity transformation, where the shape is resized proportionally but not dilated.
Time dilation is a phenomenon in which time passes differently for objects moving at different speeds. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, as an object moves faster, time for that object slows down relative to a stationary observer. This means that the faster an object moves, the more pronounced the effect of time dilation becomes.

Gravitational forces bend the fabric of space and time. Clocks relate the local measurement, so all clocks, digital or otherwise, are affected.
Dilation (or enlargements require a centre of dilation (or enlargement). Since none has been given, no dilation is possible.
Arteriole dilation is an increase in the diameter of a small artery.
