How does the operation of the pantograph relate to dilations and similarity? How can you use similar triangles to describe why the pantograph works as it does? In many instances, the pantograph has been replaced by other means for enlarging images. What has the pantograph been replaced by?


Sagot :

Dilation is a transformation of scaling that requires a center of scaling and a factor of scaling.
Similarity is a relationship between two figures when there is a special transformation that transforms one figure into another.
This transformation can include any combination of rotation, shift and dilation.
That's why a pair of a source and its image after dilation are similar, but not all similar figures can be connected by dilation. For instance, rotation and/or shift transform a figure into another, similar one to the original, but not related through dilation..
