Copy of Dilating a Segment: HSG.SRT.A.1.B
Fill in the blank:
1) The image of any segment under a dilation about a point is another ______________.
2) What does the image look like if the scale factor k = 1? Describe.
3) What does the image segment look like if the scale factor k = 0? Describe.
4) What does the image segment look like if the scale factor k = -1? Describe.
5) What happens to the location of the image of the original segment if k > 0 vs. k < 0?
6) Suppose the preimage has length = 4.8 cm. If k = 3.2, determine the length of the image of this segment.
7) Suppose the image has a length of 12.5 cm. If k = 1.5, determine the length of the preimage.
8) What does the action with the blue angles imply about the 2 segments?
Fill in the answer in the spaces provided
Let's generalize now: Fill in the blanks to make a true statement: Suppose a ______________ is dilated about a ____________ with scale factor k. Then the ________________ of this original _____________ is another __________ that is both _______________ to the original segment and has a ____________ that is ______ times as _______ as the original ________________.
