Dilations A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size. Dilation is a transformation in which each point of an object is moved along a straight line. The straight line is drawn from a fixed point called the centre of dilation. The distance the points move depends on the scale factor. In dilation, the centre of dilation is the only invariant point. Scale factor = If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement. If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction.Example: The figure shows two similar triangles PQR and PQR.

Question 4
