Worksheet Dilations

The worksheet focuses on dilations in geometry, asking students to identify whether given scale factors represent reductions or enlargements. It includes exercises to calculate scale factors between points, apply dilations to line segments, and draw dilated figures based on specified scale factors. Additionally, it poses a real-world question about comparing the dimensions of old and new television screens to determine if one is a dilation of the other.
