Question

1. Consider this dilation in this question for A and B

(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:

Answer 1

a) enlargement

b) scale factor is 2

Explanation:

As we can see, we went from the block to the red figure

a) Since the red figure is bigger, then what we have is an enlargement of the original figure

b) As we can see, the coordinates of the red is two times the value of the coordinates of the black

So, we can conclude that what we have as a scale factor is 2
