Study Online Dilation


Study Online Dilation Introduction:

Dilation is a change (notation Dk) that produces a picture that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size. Dilation stretches or shrinks the original diagram.

The explanation of dilation contains the ratio or scale factor and the middle of the dilation. The middle of dilation is a set point in the plane about which every point are expanded or contracted.  It is the just invariant point under dilation.

A dilation of scalar factor k whose middle of dilation is the basis  written by:  Dk (x, y) = (kx, ky). If the scale factor, k, is larger than 1, the picture is an enlargement.

If the scale factor is 0 to 1, the picture is a reduction.


Study Online Dilation - Definition:


A dilation is a vary of the plane, Dk, such that if O is a set point, k is a non-zero real number, and P' is the picture of point P, then O, P and P' are collinear and `(OP ' )/(OP)` = k.
Notation:  Dk(x, y) = (kx, ky )






Examples for Study online Dilation:


Study online Dilation - Example 1:

PROBLEM:

Sketch the dilation picture of triangle ABC with the middle of dilation at the origin and a scale factor of 2.






Examine: Notice how EACH coordinate of the triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2).

Study online Dilation - Example 2:

PROBLEM:

Sketch the dilation picture of pentagon ABCDE with the middle of dilation at the origin and a scale factor of 1/3.



Examine: Notice how EACH coordinate of the pentagon has been multiply the scale factor (1/3).

Note: Multiplying by 1/3 is the same as dividing by 3!

Study online Dilation - Example 3:

PROBLEM:

Sketch the dilation diagram of rectangle EFGH with the middle of dilation at point E and a scale factor of 1/2.



Examine:

E and its picture are the same.  It is main to observe the distance from the middle of the dilation, E, to the other points of the diagram.  Notice EF = 6 and E'F' = 3.

Note:

Be sure to measure distances for this problem.
