Definition: Enlargement

If a figure is transformed so that each side of the image is greater than the corresponding side of the original figure, then the figure is said to be enlarged.

CISCE: Class 10

Definition: Reduction

If a figure is transformed so that each side of the image is smaller than the corresponding side of the original figure, then the figure is said to be reduced.

CISCE: Class 10

Key Points: Properties of Size Transformation

Scale factor k

  • Enlargement
  • k < 1 → Reduction
  • k = 1→ Identity transformation
  • Each side of the image = k × corresponding side of object
  • Area of image = k2 × area of object
  • Volume of image = k3 × volume of object
