PAGE 1 — Chapter opener

Chapter 15 · Dilations in the Coordinate Plane

Standard 7.MG.4

In this chapter you will:

Words to know: transformation · dilation · preimage · image · prime notation · center of dilation · scale factor · enlargement · reduction · similar

Two rules hold on every page of this chapter. The scale factor kk is always 14\tfrac14, 12\tfrac12, 22, 33, or 44. The center of dilation is always the origin, (0,0)(0, 0).

The rule: a dilation centered at the origin sends (x,y)(x, y) to (kx,ky)(kx, ky). Multiply both coordinates by the same factor.

Drawing convention: preimage = solid outline. Image = dashed outline, labeled with primes (AA', BB', CC').


PAGE 2 — What a dilation does

15.1 What a Dilation Does

FIGURE: fig1-dilation-factor-2.png (full width)

Fill in the blanks.

The figure you start with is the ______________. The figure you end with is the ______________.

The fixed point everything is measured from is the ______________ of ______________. In this chapter it is always the ______________.

A dilation centered at the origin sends (x,y)(x, y) to ( ______ , ______ ).

A scale factor greater than 1 produces an ______________. A scale factor between 0 and 1 produces a ______________.

A dilation changes ______________ lengths but leaves ______________ measures alone, so the image is ______________ to the preimage.

  2. Application. Park outline (0,0)(0, 0), (12,0)(12, 0), (12,8)(12, 8), (0,8)(0, 8); k=14k = \tfrac14 about the origin.

    Image corners: ( ______ , ______ ) ( ______ , ______ ) ( ______ , ______ ) ( ______ , ______ ) Enlargement or reduction? ______

  3. Reasoning. Why does the rule (x,y)(kx,ky)(x, y) \rightarrow (kx, ky) produce a genuine dilation? Use the ray from the origin.


  4. Reasoning. Why is the origin the only point that stays put?


  5. Reasoning. A student dilates (5,7)(5, 7) by k=14k = \tfrac14 and gets (1.25,1.75)(1.25, 1.75). Arithmetic error? ______

    Explain: _______________________________________________

  6. Reasoning. A 44 by 66 rectangle is dilated by k=2k = 2 about the origin.
