Two diagrams below show a dilation of Rectangle $${ABCD}$$ by a scale factor of 2.
If the scale factor is the same, then why do the two diagrams show different dilated figures?
Diagram 1:
Diagram 2:
Rectangle $${ABCD}$$ is similar to rectangle $${{A'B'C'D'}}$$ because it can be dilated to map onto $${{A'B'C'D'}}$$.
Describe the transformation. Include the scale factor and center point of dilation.
Angle $${EFG}$$ is shown in the coordinate plane below.
Dilate the angle by a scale factor of 2 with the center of dilation at the origin.
