Question

what does a dilation do to a figure?
a. changes its size while keeping its shape and orientation
b. changes its angles
c. changes its shape and size
d. changes its proportions

Explanation:

A dilation is a transformation that multiplies the distance of each point from a fixed - point (the center of dilation) by a scale factor. It changes the size of a figure. The shape of the figure remains the same because the angles are preserved, and the orientation also remains the same.

Answer:

A. Changes its size while keeping its shape and orientation
