What happens when the center of dilation is a vertex of the shape?
It remains fixed in position and all the other vertices move towards or away from it depending on whether the scale factor is less than 1 or greater than one.
What will happen to an object if the scale factor is less than one equal to one or greater than one?
The object will shrink, stay the same or grow.
A dilation is a reduction if the scale factor is?
A diliation is a reduction if the scale factor is: less than 1.
When one factor in multiplication is greater than one is the product greater or less than the other factor?
The terms (factors) used in multiplication are the multiplicand (the factor being multiplied), the multiplier (the factor that the multiplicand is multiplied by) and the product (the answer, or results of the multiplication). Any time either of the factors is greater than the other by at least one, the product will always be greater than the largest factor.
Sometimes a dilation is an enlargement and sometimes it is a reduction. Explain what types of numbers for scale factors causes each.?
A scale factor whose absolute value is greater than one is an enlargement whereas if the absolute value is less than 1 it is a reduction.
