 Enlargements
When you enlarge a shape, all the lengths of the sides of the shape
increase in the same proportion. This is called the scale factor.
All the angles in the shape stay the same size.
When you describe an enlargement, you must give:
• the scale factor of the enlargement
• the position of the center of enlargement.
