• Academic Vocabulary: center of dilation, line segment

Skills to master– Given a center & scale factor, experiment to

visually see that when performing dilations the line segment, the pre-image, the segment which becomes the image is longer or shorter based on the ratio given by the scale factor

Additional skills to master

• Given a line segment, a point not on the line segment, and a dilation factor, construct a dilation of the original segment

• Recognize that the length of the resulting image is the length of the original segment multiplied by the scale factor & that the original & dilated image are parallel to each other
