What information do you need to complete a given enlargement?
You need the original shape, the scale of enlargement and the centre of enlargement.
What is a transformation that changes the size of the figure but not the shape?
It is an enlargement
What is a self similar shape?
A shape is said to be self-similar if it will map onto an enlargement of a part of itself.
What is the definition of enlargement in math?
It is when u are making a shape bigger by its centre
What does enlargement mean in maths terms?
An enlargement is a transformation which changes the size of an object without changing its shape, rather as a projector enlarges the details of a photographic slide onto a screen.
What information do you need to complete a given enlargement?
You need the original shape, the scale of enlargement and the centre of enlargement.
Do multiplying the coordinates of a shape affect the shape?
Yes, the result is an enlargement or shrinking, with the origin as centre of enlargement.
What is the definition of enlargement in math terms?
An enlargement is of one shape is another, similar shape whose dimensions are bigger.
What is an enlargement with a negative scale factor?
It is a smaller shape on the other side of the centre of enlargement.
What is a geometry enlargement?
It is the transformation of a shape on the Cartesian plane
What is a transformation that changes the size of the figure but not the shape?
It is an enlargement
What is enlargement in maths?
Enlargement is when you make a shape or number larger. If you have a number that you would like to enlarge you can make a sum out of it.
What is a self similar shape?
A shape is said to be self-similar if it will map onto an enlargement of a part of itself.
What is the definition of enlargement in math?
It is when u are making a shape bigger by its centre
How do you find the height of a shape?
Given the information provided in the question, the only answer is to measure it.
How do you enlarge a shape using a scale factore of 0.5?
When a shape is enlarged, the scale factor tells by how much to multiply each length of the original shape to get the corresponding length on the new shape. So with a scale factor for 0.5 (or 1/2), each length of the new shape is 0.5 (or 1/2) times the lengths of the original shape. For example, to enlarge a triangle with sides 6", 8", 10" by a scale factor or 0.5, the lengths become 6" x 0.5 = 3", 8" x 0.5 = 4", 10" x 0.5 = 5"; so the resulting triangle has sides 3", 4", 5". To do the enlargement through a centre of enlargement, a straight line is drawn from each point (vertex) of the shape to the centre of enlargement. The distance from the centre to the point is measured and multiplied by the scale factor; this new distance is measured along the same line from the centre of enlargement as the original point. In this case, negative scale factors can be given, in which case the new distance is measured in the opposite direction from the centre of enlargement, away from the original point.
How do you determine an unknown side in a geometrical shape when given one measurement and the volume or surface area?
Substitute the information that you are given into the formula.
