standard_description: Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor:
- A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged.
- The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor.
problem_activity: Rotate the following figure
$${90^{\circ}}$$
counterclockwise about the origin, three times.
[IMG]
A shape is formed through these rotations, with center at the origin.
Does this shape have rotational symmetry? If so, by what order/degree?
Doe this shape have reflectional symmetry? If so, what is the line of symmetry? If not, describe why not.


aligns: no
