G.GSRT.1

Understand dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged. Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor. Understand the dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor.

Example Problems
Polygon H is a scaled copy of Polygon F using a scale factor of .
Polygon H's area is what fraction of Polygon F's area?
Polygon E is a scaled copy of Polygon F using a scale factor of .
Polygon E's

Polygon R is a scaled copy of Polygon S using a scale factor of .
Polygon R's
area is what fraction of Polygon S's area?
