Question
If k > 1, then the reduction is a _____________.
- Reduction
- Enlargement
- Reduction followed by enlargement
- Enlargement followed by reduction
Hint:
Dilation is a process of changing the size of an object or shape by decreasing or increasing its dimensions by some scaling factors.
The correct answer is: Enlargement
The dilation is an enlargement if k > 1.
Where k is the scale factor.
If the scale factor is more than 1, then the image stretches.
If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, then the image shrinks.
If the scale factor is 1, then the original image and the image produced are congruent
