Answer Key - Grade 8 Math Worksheet

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

1. 1.

   Bo dilates a sled sticker from the origin with scale factor 3/2. Corner D starts at (-4, 6). Where is D′? Write it like (7, -3).

   (-6, 9)
2. 2.

   Esme dilates a plane sticker from the origin with scale factor 5/2. Corner D starts at (2, -4). Where is D′? Write it like (7, -3).

   (5, -10)

3. Read this first

   Use this

   Coordinate grid, all four quadrants, each square one unit, 20 squares across (−10 to 10), origin in the middle. The sticker with corner D(6, -2) marked; the image is not drawn.

4. 3.

   Jun dilates a bike sticker from the origin with scale factor 1.5. Corner D starts at (6, -2). Where is D′? Write it like (7, -3).

   (9, -3)

5. Use this

   Coordinate grid, all four quadrants, each square one unit, 20 squares across (−10 to 10), origin in the middle. The design and its image are both drawn, with the corner and its image labeled.

6. 4.

   A corner of Milo's crown design is at (-6, 4). After a dilation from the origin, it is at (-9, 6). What is the scale factor from old to new?

   3/2
7. 5.

   A corner of Ren's quilt design is at (9, 6). After a dilation from the origin, it is at (6, 4). What is the scale factor from old to new?

   2/3
8. 6.

   Tala's kite drawing is dilated from the origin. Corner D moves from (4, -2) to (6, -3). What is the rule? Fill in (x, y) → (□, □), like 5x, 5y.

   (3/2)x, (3/2)y
9. 7.

   Zee's rocket drawing is dilated from the origin. Corner D moves from (-6, 9) to (-4, 6). What is the rule? Fill in (x, y) → (□, □), like 5x, 5y.

   (2/3)x, (2/3)y
10. 8.

    Bo dilates a house drawing from the origin with scale factor 3/2. How does the image compare with the original drawing?

    • Each side is 3/2 times as long, and each angle stays the same.
    • Each side is 3/2 times as long, and each angle is 3/2 times as big.
    • Each side gets 3/2 units added, and each angle stays the same.
    • Each side and each angle stays the same; the drawing only moves.

11. Use this

    Coordinate grid, all four quadrants, each square one unit, 20 squares across (-10 to 10), origin in the middle. The car drawing is drawn; the image is not drawn.

12. 9.

    Esme dilates a car drawing from the origin with scale factor 2/3. How does the image compare with the original drawing?

    • Each side is 2/3 times as long, and each angle stays the same.
    • Each side and each angle stays the same; the drawing only moves.
    • Each side is 2/3 times as long, and each angle is 2/3 times as big.
    • Each side gets 2/3 units added, and each angle stays the same.
13. 10.

    Coordinate grid, all four quadrants, each square one unit, 20 squares across (-10 to 10), origin in the middle. Jun dilates a castle drawing from the origin with scale factor 5/2. How does the image compare with the original drawing?

    • Each side gets 5/2 units added, and each angle stays the same.
    • Each side is 5/2 times as long, and each angle stays the same.
    • Each side is 5/2 times as long, and each angle is 5/2 times as big.
    • Each side and each angle stays the same; the drawing only moves.
