a) From the graph,

shortest side length of original figure = 1/2 units

By dilating the original figure by 4, we would multiply each length by 4

Thus,

shortest side length of final figure = 1/2 x 4 = 2 units

b) shortest side length of the final figure = 4 x shortest side length of the original figure

c) A dilation with a positive scale factor greater than 1 gives an enlarged figure.Thus, the answer is False

d) After dilation, the original and final figures are similar. Thus, the answer is False
