Question

complete the statement. figure ? is dilated by a scale factor less than 1 to form figure ? e f g

Explanation:

Step1: Understand dilation concept

Dilation with scale - factor less than 1 makes a figure smaller.

Step2: Analyze the figures

By observing the grid - based figures, figure E is the largest, followed by F, and G is the smallest. When a figure is dilated by a scale factor less than 1, the resulting figure is smaller. So figure E is dilated by a scale factor less than 1 to form figure F, and figure F is dilated by a scale factor less than 1 to form figure G. But if we consider the first blank, figure E is the one being dilated to form a smaller figure. And the resulting smaller figure in the context of the first dilation from E can be figure F.

Answer:

Figure E is dilated by a scale factor less than 1 to form figure F.
