Enlargements1

Task 1. Look at the second (top left) quadrant. What happens to the lengths of the sides when you enlarge a shape? Use the slider to explore this. What happens to the angles in a shape when you enlarge it? Does an enlargement always make the shape bigger- explain your thinking. What if the scale factor was between 0 and 1 for example 0.5? What would happen if the scale factor was negative?
