Introduction to Enlargement and Scale Factor

When you enlarge a shape, you create a new shape that's mathematically similar to the original. This means that:
* All corresponding angles stay exactly the same.
* All corresponding side lengths are multiplied by the same amount.

The scale factor is simply the number that tells you how much bigger or smaller the enlarged shape is compared to the original.
