Question

d. figure d and figure e:

1. which of the following is a true statement

about a dilation?

a. it changes the size of a figure.
b. it changes the orientation of a figure.
c. it changes the orientation of the vertices.
d. all of the above are true.

Explanation:

To determine the true statement about dilation, recall the definition of dilation in geometry. Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure (either enlarging or reducing it) while preserving the shape, orientation, and the relative position of vertices. Option A states it changes the size, which is correct. Option B is wrong because dilation doesn't change orientation. Option C is wrong as vertices' orientation (order, etc.) isn't changed. Option D is wrong since B and C are false.

Answer:

A. It changes the size of a figure.
