Answer 1

The scale factor is B. 4. To get the second shape, you multiply the sides of the first shape by 4.
This is an A. enlargement. To get the second shape, the sides of the first shape must be increased/enlarged.

Answer 2

Part 1) Option B.
`4`

Part 2) Option A. An enlargement

Explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to the length side of the dilated figure divided to the length side of the original figure

so

`scale\ factor=(0.8)/(0.2) =4`

The dilation represent an enlargement because the scale factor is greater than
`1`

`4> 1` -------> represent an enlargement
