Explanation:

Answer 2

Part 1) the answer is the option A
`0.5`

Part 2) the answer is the option B Reduction

Explanation:

Step 1

Find the scale factor

The scale factor is equal to divide the measurement of the reduced hexagon by the measurement of the original hexagon

so

`scale\ factor=(0.6)/(1.2)=0.5`

Step 2

The scale factor is equal to
`0.5`

`0.5< 1` -------> represent a reduction
