Sometimes a dilation is an enlargement and sometimes it is a reduction. Explain what types of numbers for scale factors causes each.?
A scale factor whose absolute value is greater than one is an enlargement whereas if the absolute value is less than 1 it is a reduction.
A dilation is an enlargement if the scale factor is?
greater then 1
A problem in Math and you don't know how to solve it. Please help Sometimes a dilation is an enlargement and sometimes it is a reduction Explain what types of numbers for scale factors causes each?
If the dilation is >0 but <1, it is a reduction. If it is any number >1, it is an enlargement.
Triangle ABC below will be dilated with the origin as the center of dilation and scale factor of 1/2?
0.5
What is the scale factor of 36 and 18?
The scale factor between the 2 values is 36/18 = 6/3 = 2(but the dilation from 36 to 18, specifically, is 1/2, since 18/36 = 1/2).
What is the dilation of 22 if the scale factor is 2.5?
The dilation of 22 with scale factor 2.5 is 55.The formula for finding a dilation with a scale factor is x' = kx (k = scale factor), so x' = 2.5(22) = 55.
What type of dilation occurs with a scale factor of 14?
The type of dilation that occurs with a scale factor of 14 is enlargement. Any time the scale factor is larger than 1, it is enlargement.
Is a scale factor of 1 a dilation?
No a scale factor of 1 is not a dilation because, in a dilation it must remain the same shape, which it would, but the size must either enlarge or shrink.
Every dilation has a?
