Question

if a figure is dilated with a scale factor a greater than 1 is the resulting figure larger or smaller than the original figure explain your reasoning

Answer 1

If the scale factor of a figure is greater than one , the figure is larger.

Explanation:

It will make the figure larger because if it's smaller than one the figure would be smaller. For example if the scale factor is one-half than the figure will be one-half smaller than the original figure. And if the scale factor is 2, the the figure will be twice as larger as the original figure.

I hope this works!:)
