Dilations Translations PDF

This document is a worksheet about dilations and translations of geometric figures. It provides examples of dilating and translating triangles, quadrilaterals and other shapes. Students are asked to graph the original figures and their dilated or translated images, and to provide the coordinates of the vertices in the new positions. The worksheet defines key terms like dilation, scale factor, and translation, and has students practice applying these concepts to geometric transformations.
