Question

Use the image to answer the question.

Determine the type of dilation shown and the scale factor used.
Enlargement with scale factor of 1.5
Enlargement with scale factor of 2
Reduction with scale factor of 1.5
Reduction with scale factor of 2

Answer 1

The correct answer is enlargement scale factor of 1.5.

Explanation:

the reason for this is that if you divide the D' numbers by the D numbers you get 1.5

so 8×1.5=12

6×1.5=9

any scale factor 0-1 is a reduction. Greater than 1 (like this case here) is an enlargement. as you can see the after image D' is bigger than the pre image D

I hope this helps :)
