Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the new coordinates of the point (3, 4) after an enlargement from the origin with a scale factor of 2.
[3 marks]
2.
A triangle with vertices at (2, 3), (4, 1), and (3, 5) is enlarged from the origin with a scale factor of 3. Write down the coordinates of the enlarged triangle's vertices.
[4 marks]
3.
Plot the graph of y = 2x on the grid. Use this to help find the image of the point (1, 2) after enlargement with scale factor 4 from the origin.
[3 marks]
4.
A rectangle has vertices at (1, 1), (4, 1), (4, 3), and (1, 3). If it is enlarged from the origin with a scale factor of 0.5, what are the new vertices?
[4 marks]
5.
A circle with center at (2, 2) and radius 3 is enlarged from the origin with scale factor 2. What is the radius of the enlarged circle?
[2 marks]
6.
A point at (5, -2) is enlarged from the origin with scale factor 3. What are its new coordinates? Show your working.
[3 marks]
7.
A real-world scenario: A map shows a park at (4, 5). The park is enlarged on a model with a scale factor of 2 from the origin. What are the coordinates of the enlarged park?
[3 marks]
8.
Construct an enlargement of a triangle from the origin that maps a point (2, 1) to (6, 3). Find the scale factor and the image of the point (1, 4).
[4 marks]
9.
Identify and correct the mistake in this enlargement problem: A point at (3, 5) was enlarged with scale factor 4 from the origin, resulting in (12, 20).
[3 marks]
10.
A square with vertices at (1, 1), (1, 4), (4, 4), and (4, 1) is enlarged from the origin with a scale factor of 2. Draw the enlarged square on the grid.
[2 marks]
11.
Challenge question: A shape with vertices at (2, 2), (4, 2), (4, 6), and (2, 6) is enlarged from the origin with a scale factor of 1.5. What are the coordinates of the enlarged vertices? Provide calculations.
