Connect to Vocabulary
A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is proportional to its preimage.

A. Measure the sides of the figures, then fill in the table.

What is the relationship between the measurements of the rectangles?

Explanation:
The relationship between the measurements of the rectangles are,
the perimeter of rectangle R’S’T’U’ and rectangle RSTU.
P = 2(length + width)
P = 2(2.5+1.5)
P = 8 cm for rectangle RSTU preimage,
P = 2(8.0 + 4.0)
P = 24 cm for rectangle R’S’T’U’ image.
The relationship between the measurements of the rectangles is,
the perimeter increased to 3 times for preimage.

B. What is the scale factor of this dilation?
___________________
Scale factor is 3.
Dilation means changing the size of an object without changing its shape.
The size of the object may be increased or decreased based on the scale factor.
Scale Factor is defined as the ratio of the size of the new image to the size of the old image.

Explanation:
Scale factor is a number by which the size of any geometrical figure or shape,
which can be changed with respect to its original size.
It is the ratio of the sizes of the original figure with the dilated figure.
The scale factor can be denoted by r or k.
The image is enlarged if the scale factor is more than 1 (k > 1).
The image is contracted if the scale factor is less than 1 (0< k <1).
The image remains the same if the scale factor is 1 (k = 1).
The scale factor is a measure for similar figures,
who look the same but have different scales or measures.
The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane.
Based on the scale factor and the center of dilation,
thus the dilation transformation is defined.

C. Points R and R’ are an example of corresponding vertices. Use a ruler or straight edge to draw four rays, each extending from a vertex of the image to the corresponding vertex of the preimage, and continuing through to the left. What do you notice?
All four rays are meeting at one point by extending,
from a vertex of the image to the corresponding vertex of the preimage.

Explanation:
Points R and R’ are the corresponding vertices.
By using a ruler or straight edge we draw four rays,
each extending from a vertex of the image to the corresponding vertex of the preimage,
and continuing through to the left.
So, that all four rays are meeting at one point by extending.

Connect to Vocabulary
The scale factor of a dilation is the ratio of the side lengths of the image to the preimage. The point of intersection of lines through each pair of corresponding vertices in a dilation is called the center of dilation.

D. Label the center of dilation for Rectangles RSTU and R’S’T’U’ as Point P.

Explanation:
The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane.
So, in the above figure shown the center of Dilation is ‘P’.
