Answer:
The result of this dilation is an enlargement. The scale factor is 3.
Explanation:
The original figure has coordinates (0,0), (1,0), (2,0), (2,1), and (1,1). The dilated figure has coordinates (0,0), (3,0), (6,0), (6,3), and (3,3). Notice that the distances between corresponding points in the original and dilated figures are all multiples of 3. This means that the dilation has a scale factor of 3.
In general, a dilation is an enlargement if the scale factor is greater than 1, a reduction if the scale factor is less than 1, and a congruent image if the scale factor is equal to 1.
