jamarion bruce q1 - accelerated mathematics gr 8 | unit test 17. dilating a shape from the origin by a factor of 0.5 will result in what change? a. the shapes size will be halved. b. the shapes position will change. c. the shapes size will double. d. the shapes orientation will change.

Explanation:

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a shape. When the dilation factor is 0.5, each dimension of the shape is multiplied by 0.5, which halves the size of the shape. The position and orientation remain the same under a dilation from the origin.

Answer:

A. The shape's size will be halved.
