Question

types of dilation a) state whether a dilation with the given scale factor is an enlargement or a reduction 1) scale factor = 2 2) scale factor = \\(\frac{1}{8}\\) 3) sca

Explanation:

Part 1: Scale factor = 2

Step1: Recall dilation rules

A dilation is an enlargement if the scale factor \( k>1 \), and a reduction if \( 0 < k < 1 \).

Step2: Compare with scale factor

Here, scale factor \( k = 2 \), and \( 2>1 \).

Step1: Recall dilation rules

A dilation is an enlargement if the scale factor \( k>1 \), and a reduction if \( 0 < k < 1 \).

Step2: Compare with scale factor

Here, scale factor \( k=\frac{1}{8}\), and \( 0<\frac{1}{8}<1 \).

Answer:

Enlargement

Part 2: Scale factor = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
