3.7 Dilations

Definitions Scale Factor: The scale factor is the number we multiply the sides or coordinates of a figure by to get the new coordinates or sides. Enlargement: When you multiply by a number whose absolute value is greater then 1. (Gets Bigger) Reduction: When you multiply by a number whose absolute value is less than 1. (Gets Smaller)

Identifying Dilations Previously, you studied rigid transformations, in which the image and preimage of a figure are congruent. In this lesson, you will study a type of nonrigid transformation called a dilation, in which the image and preimage of a figure are similar. A dilation with center C and scale factor k is a transformation that maps every point P in the plane to a point P so that the following properties are true. If P is not the center point C, then the image point P lies on . The scale factor k is a positive number such that k = , and k  1. CP CP  If P is the center point C, then P = P .

• Dilation in a Coordinate Plane In a coordinate plane, dilations whose centers are the origin have the property that the image of P(x, y) is P´(kx, ky). Draw a dilation of rectangle ABCD with A(2, 2), B(6, 2), C(6, 4), and D(2, 4). Use the origin as the center and use a scale factor of . How does the perimeter of the preimage compare to the perimeter of the image? 1 2 SOLUTION y Because the center of the dilation is the origin, you can find the image of each vertex by multiplying its coordinates by the scale factor. D C A(2, 2)  A´(1, 1) D´ A C´ B A´ B(6, 2)  B´(3, 1) 1 B´ • C(6, 4)  C ´(3, 2) O 1 x D(2, 4)  D´(1, 2)

Using Dilations in Real Life Shadow puppets have been used in many countries for hundreds of years. A flat figure is held between a light and a screen. The audience on the other side of the screen sees the puppet’s shadow. The shadow is a dilation, or enlargement, of the shadow puppet. When looking at a cross sectional view, LCP ~ LSH. The shadow puppet shown is 12 inches tall (CP in the diagram). Find the height of the shadow, SH, for each distance from the screen. In each case, by what percent is the shadow larger than the puppet? LC = LP = 59 in.; LS = LH = 74 in. SOLUTION 59 74 12 SH = LC LS CP SH = 59 (SH) = 888 SH  15 inches
