Answer:

C is the answer

Given : dilation with a scale factor of 3

To find : Which statement is true

Explanation:

Solution: A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size

if Dilation factor N then image Size is multiplied by N

if Scale factor < 1 then image get reduced

if scale factor > 1 then image get enlarged

scale factor = 1 lead to Same size image

Here is given that Scale factor of 3

=> image will be enlarged to 3 times the original image

Hence correct option is :

C)Each side in the pre-image is multiplied by three to find the corresponding side length in the image
