The scale factor determines whether line segment dilation is longer or shorter.
What is dilation?
- Dilation is a transformation that allows you to resize an object.
- Dilation is a technique for making objects larger or smaller.
- This transformation yields an image that is identical to the original shape.
- However, there is a size difference in the shape.
The effect of dilation on the length of a line segment:
- A line segment dilation is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor.
- If the scale factor is greater than one (k > 1), the image will be larger than the pre-image, making the image's segments (sides) longer than the pre-corresponding image's sides (an enlargement).
Therefore, a line segment dilation is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor.
