An image is a scaled copy of the original if the shape is stretched in a way that does not distort it.

Answer:

A scale copy of a figure is a figure that is geometrically similar to the original figure. This means that the scale copy and the original figure have the same shape but possibly different sizes. First you have to look at one of the sides of the scaled copy. If they are divisible by the numbers in the original shape, then try and see if the others sides of the scaled copy are scaled by the same factor. If they are, then they are a scaled copy.
