Enlargement [clip 76]
- Enlargement with a point of enlargement
- This means that the enlargement has to be the right size and in the right position
- Example: scale factor 2
- Draw a guideline from the centre of enlargement through one of the points of the shape
- Count how to get from the centre to the point then multiply this by the scale factor
- E.g centre to Point A is Across 1 Up 5
- For the enlargement this needs to be done twice, so the new position of A is Across 2 Up 10 from the centre of enlargment
- From the new position the rest of the sides can be worked out as before, by multiplying them by the scale factor
- E.g centre to Point A is Across 1 Up 5
- Count how to get from the centre to the point then multiply this by the scale factor
- Multiply each side by the scale factor
- E.g Scale factor-2 ................ side x 2
- B is the enlargement of A by the scale factor 2
- This is increases the size of the shape
- E.g Scale factor 1/2 ................ side x 1/2 (0.5)
- C is the enlargement of A by scale factor 1/2
- Multiplying by 1/2 is the same has dividing by 2. So the size of the shape is decreased
- When there is no point of enlargement, the enlarged shape can go anywhere
- E.g Scale factor-2 ................ side x 2
- Enlargement with a point of enlargement
Enlargement by a negative scale factor [clip 171]
- Mark out the centre of enlargement
- Draw guidelines from the orginial shape through the centre and carry them on
- Count how to get from the centre to the point then multiply this by the scale factor
- Draw guidelines from the orginial shape through the centre and carry them on
- Example: the scale factor is -2 and the centre of enlargement is (1,0)
- Because the scale factor is a negative the new shape is on the opposite side of the centre of enlargement than the original shape
- Mark out the centre of enlargement
Describing an enlargement
- 1. name the translation 2. work out scale factor 3. find centre of enlargement
- if the shapes are different sizes then it is an enlargement.
- Divide the length of a side from the enlarged shape by the length of a side on the original shape to work out scale factor
- To find the centre of enlargement join two like points with a line and carry it on. Do this for 2 or more points.
- Where the lines cross is the centre of enlargemrnt
- 1. name the translation 2. work out scale factor 3. find centre of enlargement
