Stretch dilation of a graph.
What does dilation do in math.
The definition of dilation.
The position and size of a figure can change but not the shape.
A transformation in which all distances on the coordinate plane are lengthened by multiplying either all x coordinates horizontal dilation or all y coordinates vertical dilation by a common factor greater than 1.
When the common factor is less than 1 the transformation is called a compression.
It can become larger or smaller but the shape of the figure does not change.
The picture below shows a dilation with a scale factor of 2.
In general english it means to make larger.
In dilation multiply the dimensions of the original by the scale factor to get the dimensions of the image.
Dilation is one of the five major transformations in geometry dilation does not change the shape of the object from preimage to image.
A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure.
It can become larger or smaller but the shape of.
