Two geometric figures are said to be similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Using this informal definition, which of the following pairs of figures show similarity? Explain.
Dilation A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of an image. The scale factor (r) measures how much larger or smaller the image is.
Remember… Distance on a number line.
