~ Transformation- dilations ~

~ The dilated figure does not change in shape, but the shape will zoom in or out. That would make the shape smaller,or larger.It also changes in location. For example, if the scale factor is greater than 1 it would get larger, and if the scale factor is less than 1 the figure would get smaller. When we zoom in a photo the photo get larger. Its the same as with dilation when we zoom into the figure the figure would get larger and when we zoom out the figure it gets smaller.If the figure undergoes a dilation with a scale factor of 1.5 the figure would get larger than the original figure. And when it undergoes a scale factor of 0.5 the figure would get smaller than original figure. Dilation and translation differ because when drawing dilation you are zooming in or out. When drawing translation you are moving the figure up, down, left or right. Multiplying by 1/3 is the same as diving by 3 because it is commutative..
