Transformations on the Coordinate Plane: Dilations Handout

Learn all about dilations on the coordinate plane with the help of this one-page handout! In geometry, a dilation is a type of transformation that changes the size of a figure without changing its shape. This informative printable shows students what happens to the coordinates of a figure when the dilation is an enlargement or reduction. Learners will also see an example of how to describe a dilation and calculate the scale factor. Designed for eighth-grade learners, this handout makes a great study guide or reference sheet during a geometry unit on transformations. To learn more about other transformations, take a look at the Transformations on the Coordinate Plane: Translations Handout!
