Answer:

enlarged

Explanation:

imagine there are two figures, figure A and B. figure A has a length of 10cm and the scale factor is 1.2

the length of figure B = 10 X 1.2 = 12

Figure B has a longer length than figure A. thus figure B is an enlarged version of figure A.

Conversely, if the factor is 0.2

the length of figure B = 10 X 0.2 = 2cm

the length of figure B is less than that of figure A. Thus, figure B is a scaled image of A
