Math Clip Art--Similarity with Transformations--01

Description

This image depicts a square undergoing a dilation transformation. Dilation changes the size of a figure while maintaining its shape, resulting in a similar figure. The scale factor of the dilation determines whether the square is enlarged or reduced.

In this transformation, all sides of the square are scaled by the same factor, and all angles remain congruent to the original. This preserves the square's shape while changing its size, demonstrating the concept of similarity in geometry.

Teacher's Script: "Observe how the square changes in size but maintains its shape. How does this dilation demonstrate the concept of similarity? What properties of the square remain unchanged, and which ones are affected by the transformation?"
