Dilations Activity Sheet NAME_________________________________

Part I. Exploring Dilation

For all figures on the coordinate planes below, use a straightedge to draw rays that extend from
the center of dilation through each of vertices on the given figures. Dilate the figures following
the directions in the table. Record the new coordinates and make observations about the dilation
that you made.

1. Center of Dilation (0,0)

Copy Segment AB onto patty


paper. Then place A on top of
B and extend the line along
the ray. Repeat process for
each vertex.

place Point O on top of A and extend the
line OA. Repeat process for each vertex.
