    Hi PandaAdorable6990 !

    Thanks for asking your question. :)

    Sometimes, a figure needs to be made larger or smaller. When the final figure has the same proportions as the initial one, the transformation is called a dilation (also known as uniform scaling or homothety).

    dilation, denoted h (O,k) is a geometric transformation that makes it possible to enlarge or reduce a figure according to a scale factor k and a centre of dilation O.

    Here is our revision sheet if you want to know more :

    Come back if you have any more questions,

    Angélique :)
