Dilating a Segment:

1) Fill in the blank:      The image of any segment under a dilation about a point is another ______________.  

2) What does the image look like if the scale factor k = 1? Describe.

3) What does the image segment look like if the scale factor k = 0? Describe.

4) What does the image segment look like if the scale factor k = -1? Describe.  

5) What happens to the location of the image of the original segment if k > 0 vs. k < 0?

6) Suppose the preimage has length = 4.8 cm.  If k = 3.2, determine the length     of the image of this segment.

7) Suppose the image has a length of 12.5 cm.  If k = 1.5, determine the length of the      preimage.

8) What does the action with the blue angles imply about the 2 segments? 

Let's generalize now:  Fill in the blanks to make a true statement:   Suppose a _______(a)_______ is dilated about a ______(b)______ with scale factor k.   Then the ________(c)________ of this original _______(d)______ is another _____(e)_____  that is both _______(f)________ to the original segment  and has a ______(g)______ that is ___(h)___ times as ____(i)___ as the original ________(j)________.
