Scale Factors and Dilations of Polygons (A) WORKSHEET
Scale Factors and Dilations of Polygons (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This dilations worksheet will give your students practice dilating three polygons (twice each) from a given center of dilation by positive integer or fractional scale factors.
The polygons are made up of a triangle with some tricky sides to contend with, an irregular dodecagon with horizontal and vertical sides, and two different scalene trapezoids. All centers of dilation do not touch the objects. The scale factors are two, three, and a half.
All transformations can be carried out on the square grid which is the background of the worksheet. Objects are translucent to aid your students. Ensure students are equipped with a pencil and a ruler to complete their drawings.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
