Question

(a) Is the image of the dilation a reduction or an enlargement of the original figure? Explain.

(b) What is the scale factor? Explain.

Answer 1

Explanation:

It's a reduction (smaller) so the scale factor is less than 1.

In fact it is 1/2 as for example B (4, 4) maps to B' (2, 2).

Answer 2

Hello it is a reduction because it is smaller then the original shape and the green shape is the dilation!

Its a scale factor of 1/2 Hope this helps!
