Does a dialation preserve an objects size

No, it does not. A dilation is used to change the figures size. It can make an object bigger or smaller. However, dilations make the figure stay the same shape.

If you wanted to preserve an objects size you would mostly use one of the three rigid motions.

They are as follows: Translation, reflection and rotation.

To be a rigid, the transformation MUST leave the size and shape of an object the same.

As an extra fact, a dilation is not a rigid motion.

Hope this helps!!

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
