CCGPS AG 1.1.1 Example 1

Is the following transformation a dilation? Justify your answer using the properties of dilations.

[list=1] [*]Verify that shape, orientation, and angles have been preserved from the preimage to the image. [*]Verify that the corresponding sides are parallel. [*]Verify that the distances of the corresponding sides have changed by a common scale factor, [math]k[/math]. [*]Verify that corresponding vertices are collinear with the center of dilation, [math]C[/math]. [*]Draw conclusions.
