A dilation is when the figure either gets larger (enlargement) or smaller (reduction). =
A translation is when a figure moves right, left or up & down on the coordinate grid.
Enlargement- When the figures original dimensions enlarge. ( Get bigger ) Reduction- When the figures original dimensions reduce. ( Get smaller)
A reflection is when it flips over the x or y axis. It’s like a mirror image.
Scale factor is what you multiply by to get from your original figure to the new figure. The scale factor is great than 1 if it is a enlargement. The scale factor is less than 1 if it is reduction.
TThe perimeter is affected the same way as the scale factor. If the scale factor is 3 the perimeter will be 3 times the size of the original figure.
To find the change of the area you find the area of both figures and divide the new area by the original area.
