Geometry LT 2A

I can define similarity in terms of dilations and compare and contrast the transformations that produce similar and congruent figures.

A 8 Analy9e !hat does dilation mean? :This is in my notes !hat does scale mean? Maybe this terms is similar to a graph scale? entered at point ;? Could this mean everything revolves around P? !hat is it that I am dilating? The points? The line? C0 reate

I need to use my compass and with the center *eing at ;# I am to dilate &which means make *igger or smaller( *y a scale factor of 2. I think a scale factor of 2 means to make the line 111111111. Execute<<<< Get um6<

I. =ilations
A. A dilation is a transformation whose preimage
and image are similar.

>. The scale factor tells us how much *igger or

smaller the image is compared to the pre0 image
A dilation is an enlargement if the scale factor is greater
than +.

A dilation is a reduction if the scale factor is *etween ?

and +.

II. =ilating a line

;rocess$

Vocab Check: an you define this term?

+.

hoose two collinear points on the line to dilate.

2. =raw rays from the center through the points. @. 4se the compass to measure the distance from the center to
the points.

-. ;erform the dilation for *oth points in accordance with the

directions.

,.

onnect the image points to form the dilated line.

TPS: !hat is the relationship *etween the two lines? How can you pro%e your answer to this Auestion?

In%estigation Be0%isit
Cow that you ha%e an example# go *ack to your in%estigation. Dwinning? 7ake any changes that you need to.

=eeper 4nderstanding
!rite down how you would tackle dilating the same line under a scale factor of @. !ould the new line still *e parallel to the pre0image line?

!hat would happen if the center of dilation was on the line? !rite down your process.

III. oordinate ;lane =ilations

General ;rocess$ If gi%en a pre0image and image'

+. Eind the pre0image coordinates and the image coordinates

and determine the scale factor &change(.

2. =etermine if it is an enlargement or a reduction.

Vocab Check: How do you define these terms?

;ractice
=etermine the scale factor and the type of dilation.

Think: How do you differentiate *etween the pre0image and the image coordinates?

IF . =efinition of Gimilarity
Gimilar figures are figures ha%ing corresponding angles congruent and corresponding sides proportional. 3ou denote similarity *y .

F. Gimilarity ;ostulates
A. The Angle Angle Gimilarity ;ostulate$ If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle# then the two triangles are similar<

THICH >"I<< !hy doesn6t this theorem specify that all three angles must *e congruent?

F. Gimilarity ;ostulates
>. The Gide0Angle0Gide Gimilarity Theorem$ If an angle of one triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle# and the sides including the two angles are proportional# then the triangles are similar.

F. Gimilarity ;ostulates
. The Gide0Gide0Gide Gimilarity Theorem$ If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional# then the triangles are similar.
