Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: If the scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is an enlargement .

If the scale factor is smaller than 1 then the image is an reduction.

Explanation:

A dilation a transformation that changes the size of the figure in certain ways by using scale factor .

It stretches or shrinks the actual figure. It produces similar figures.

• If the scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is an enlargement .
• If the scale factor is smaller than 1 then the image is an reduction.
• If the scale factor is equals to 1 then the image is congruent.
