Question
- which of the transformations above preserved the size and shape of the original image? use tracing paper if you need to check. 1, 3, and 4 6. one of the transformations above was a dilation by a scale factor of k. the scale factor is the multiplicative amount that the picture has been enlarged. to calculate it, divide any length on b by the corresponding length on a. use your ruler to make these measurements and then calculate the scale factor of the dilation. round to the nearest tenth. unit #2 - transformations, rigid motions, and congruence - lesson #1
Step1: Recall dilation property
Dilation changes size but not shape. Rigid - motions (translations, rotations, reflections) preserve size and shape. Since dilation changes size, it does not preserve size and shape.
Step2: Analyze options
Translation (1), rotation (3), and reflection (4) are rigid - motions that preserve size and shape. Dilation does not.

The transformation that did not preserve the size and shape of the original image is the dilation. To calculate the scale factor \(k\) of the dilation, measure a length on the enlarged picture (B) and the corresponding length on the original picture (A) using a ruler, then \(k=\frac{\text{length on B}}{\text{length on A}}\), and round to the nearest tenth.
