Transformations - dilation

·Nov 11, 2024

In previous videos, we started talking about the idea of transformations. In particular, we talked about rigid transformations.

So, for example, you can shift something; this would be a translation. So the thing that I'm moving around is a translation of our original triangle. You could have a rotation, so that thing that I translated, I am now rotating it, as you see right over there.

And you can also have a reflection. The tool that I'm using doesn't make reflection too easy, but that's essentially flipping it over a line.

But what we're going to talk about in this video is a non-rigid transformation. What makes something a rigid transformation is that lengths between points are preserved, but in a non-rigid transformation, those lengths do not need to be preserved.

So, for example, this rotated and translated triangle that I'm moving around right here, in fact, I'm continuing to translate it as I talk. I can dilate it. One way to think about dilation is that we're just scaling it down or scaling it up.

So for example, here I am scaling it down; that is a dilation. Or I could scale it up; this is also a dilation or even going off of the graph paper.

So the whole point here is just to appreciate that we don't just have the rigid transformations. We can have other types of transformations, and dilation is one of them in your toolkit that you will often see, especially when you get introduced to the idea of transformation.
