Final answer:
To resize an object in Inkscape, select the object and click to reveal resize handles; then click and drag a handle to resize. Holding Ctrl maintains the aspect ratio. Option 3 is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
To resize an object using the select tool on the Inkscape canvas, follow this simple step:
Select the object you want to resize by clicking on it.
Click on the object, causing resize handles to appear at the corners and sides of the object.
Click and drag a resize handle to scale the object. If you want to keep the aspect ratio (proportions) of the object the same, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging.
Releasing the resize handle will set the object to the new size. To ensure proportional scaling, remember to hold the Ctrl key. This makes the size adjustment maintain the original height and width ratio.
To resize an object with the select tool on the Inkscape canvas, you need to select the object first. Once selected, you can click and drag one of the resize handles that appear around the object to resize it. Here are the steps:
Open Inkscape and import or create an object on the canvas.
Select the object using the select tool.
Click and hold one of the resize handles that appear around the object.
Drag the handle to resize the object to the desired size.
Release the mouse button to apply the resizing.
By following these steps, you can easily resize an object using the select tool on the Inkscape canvas.
