Question

if the scale factor is greater than one, the new (scaled) image will be:...
a. a reduction
b. an enlargement.
c. a totally different shape.
d. the exact same image.

Explanation:

When a scale factor >1, each dimension of the original shape is multiplied by a number larger than 1, making the new image larger than the original while keeping the same shape. A scale factor <1 causes reduction, scale factor =1 keeps the image identical, and scaling preserves shape.

Answer:

B. an enlargement
