A transformation of a figure in which all of the dimensions of the figure are multiplied by the same scale factor is called a dilation.
Effect of Dilation on Perimeter
Whenever a figure is dilated by a scale factor, the perimeter of the figure changes according to the same scale factor.
Effect of Dilation on Area
When a figure is dilated by a scale factor of , the area of the figure is dilated by a scale factor of
Example-
Lets imagine a rectangle with length 10 cm and width 8 cm
So area becomes = 10*8 = 80 square cm
Lets suppose the rectangle is reduced by a scale factor of to produce a new rectangle.
So we will find the square of scale factor =
Now to find the area of the new rectangle(dilated one) we will multiply the area of the original rectangle by 1/4
=
Hence, area becomes 20 square cm.
f(x) = x² - 9x - 15

Deja draws a marble from the bag randomly without looking. She then draws another marble from the bag without replacing the first one. Which expression shows the probability of drawing red marbles in both the trials?
5 over 15 multiplied by 4 over 14
5 over 15 multiplied by 4 over 15
5 over 15 added to 4 over 14
5 over 15 added to 4 over 15
Vincent is giving cakes to some children at a carnival. He has 2 strawberry cakes, 6 pineapple cakes, and 7 chocolate cakes. If Vincent selects a cake randomly without looking, what is the probability that he will give a pineapple cake to the first child and then a strawberry cake to the second child?
6 over 15 multiplied by 2 over 14 is equal to 12 over 210
6 over 15 plus 2 over 14 is equal to 114 over 210
6 over 15 multiplied by 2 over 15 is equal to 12 over 225
6 over 15 plus 2 over 15 is equal to 8 over 15
