3. Example 1
6.7
Draw a dilation of quadrilateral ABCD with vertices
A(2, 1), B(4, 1), C(4, – 1), and D(1, – 1). Use a scale
factor of 2.
SOLUTION
First draw ABCD. Find the dilation of each vertex by
multiplying its coordinates by 2. Then draw the dilation.

A triangle has the vertices A(4,– 4), B(8, 2), and C(8,– 4).
The image of
ABC after a dilation with a scale factor
of 1 is DEF.

ABC and
DEF.
a. Sketch
SOLUTION
a.
The scale factor is less
than one, so the dilation
is a reduction.

A triangle has the vertices A(4,– 4), B(8, 2), and C(8,– 4).
The image of
ABC after a dilation with a scale factor
of 1 is DEF.

b. Verify that ABC and
DEF are similar.
SOLUTION
b.
Because ∠C and ∠F are both right angles, ∠C ≅ ∠F.
Show that the lengths of the sides that include ∠C
and ∠F are proportional. Find the horizontal and
vertical lengths from the coordinate plane.
AC ? BC

2 = 3
DF = EF
So, the lengths of the sides that include ∠C and ∠F
are proportional.

Find the coordinates of L, M, and N so that LMN
is a dilation of PQR with a scale factor of k.
Sketch PQR and LMN.
2. P(5, –5), Q(10, –5), R(10, 5); k = 0.4
ANSWER
L (2, –2),
M (4, –2),
N (4, 2)
8. Example 3
6.7
Photo Stickers You are making your own photo
stickers. Your photo is 4 inches by 4 inches. The
image on the stickers is 1.1 inches by 1.1 inches.
What is the scale factor of the reduction?
SOLUTION
The scale factor is the ratio of a side length of the
sticker image to a side length of the original photo, or

1.1 in.
. In simplest form, the scale factor is
.

4 in.
9. Example 4
6.7
SOLUTION
Determine if EFGH is a dilation of PQRS by checking
whether the same scale factor can be used to obtain
E, F, and G from P, Q, and R.
10. Example 4
6.7
(x, y)
(kx, ky)
P(3, 0)
E(9, 0)
k=3
Q(1, 1)
F(3, 3)
k=3
R(0, 2)
G(0, 6)
k=3
Because k is the same in each case, the image is a
dilation with a scale factor of 3. So, you can use the
scale factor to find the image H of point S.
S(4, 5)
H(3 . 4, 3 . 5) = H(12, 15)
ANSWER The correct answer is C.
CHECK: Draw rays from the origin through each point
and its image.
11. Guided Practice

3.
Suppose a figure containing the origin is dilated.
Explain why the corresponding point in the
image of the figure is also the origin.
ANSWER
A dilation with respect to the origin and scale
factor k can be described as (x, y)
(kx ,ky). If
(x, y) = (0, 0) then (kx, ky) = (k . 0, k . 0) = (0, 0).
