Answer:
The statement which is true about these rectangles is:
The dilation is an enlargement.
Explanation:
Dilation Transformation--
- It is the translation which changes the size of the original figure.
- The shape of the figure is conserved.
- Also, in dilation either the size increases (i.e. the figure enlarges) or it decreases( i.e. the figure reduces).
- Also, in a polygon if there is a dilation then there is a scalar multiplication in each of the sides of the polygon.
- If the scalar multiple is greater than 1 then there is a enlargement.
- and if the scalar multiple is less than 1 but greater than 0 then there is a reduction.
Here we see that each of the sides of the original figure is multiplied by "1.5" to obtain a larger rectangle.
This means that the dilation is a enlargement.
( since the scalar is strictly greater than one )
