This is a demonstration of the properties of the non-rigid transformation known as a dilation.

Preimage = Blue triangle[br]Image = Red triangle[br][br]What do you notice about the effects of a scale factor which is:[br][list][br][*]equal to 0?[br][*]greater than 0 but less than 1?[br][*]equal to 1?[br][*]greater than 1?[br][/list][br][br]What do you observe about the relationship:[br][list][br][*] between the scale factor and the distances of the preimage and image vertices from the center of dilation?[br][*]between the scale factor and the side lengths of the preimage and image?[br][/list]
