Answer:

1. Magnifying or shrinking an image on a computer screen is a real-world example of dilation.

2. An architect drawing the same design in different sizes to fit other buildings is an example of similarity.

3. A map of the world that can be adjusted to show different levels of detail is an example of a dilation.

4. A real estate developer building multiple houses that look the same is an example of similarity.
