Question

rotating an dilating

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Rotation and dilation are two different geometric transformations.

Rotation: A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation. The figure remains the same size and shape, but its orientation changes. The amount of rotation is measured in degrees.

Dilation: A dilation is a transformation that enlarges or reduces a figure. It changes both the size and shape of the figure. The scale factor determines how much the figure is enlarged or reduced. A scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the figure, while a scale factor between 0 and 1 reduces the figure.

In summary, rotation involves turning a figure around a fixed point, while dilation involves changing the size and shape of a figure using a scale factor.
