Dilation is not an isometric transformation, because it changes the size of a figure, but not its shape. Dilations include enlargements and reductions in size. A dilation is determined by a scale factor, that is the ratio of the corresponding sides of the original figure and its image. If the scale factor is larger than 1 , the image is an enlargement; if the scale factor is smaller than 1 (but greater than 0 ), the image is a reduction. Hence, dilations include enlargements and reductions in size.
