Answer:

The dilation produces a larger figure, the possible scale factor is:

5

Explanation:

We know that a dilation is a transformation that changes the size of the original figure while the shape remains unchanged.

The dilation transformation either shrinks or enlarges the figure depending on the factor known as a scale factor.

If the scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is of larger size that is there is a enlargement in the figure .

and if the scale factor is less than 1 then there is a reduce in size of the original figure.

Also of scale factor=1 then there is no change.

Hence, the answer is:

5
