Question

scale factor of \\(\frac{1}{3}\\) (triangle (abc)) scale factor of \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) (triangle (abc))
6 fill in the blank 1 point
b. the dilated figure is 3 times smaller than the original figure.
the dilation is a reduction
7 fill in the blank 1 point
c. the dilated figure is 4 times smaller than the original figure.
the dilation is choose your answer..

Explanation:

For Question 7 (c) about dilation with scale factor $\frac{1}{4}$:

Step 1: Recall Dilation Rules

A dilation with a scale factor \( k \) where \( 0 < k < 1 \) is a reduction (makes the figure smaller), and if \( k > 1 \) it's an enlargement. Here, the scale factor is \( \frac{1}{4} \), which is between 0 and 1.

Step 2: Determine Dilation Type

Since the scale factor \( \frac{1}{4} \) is less than 1, the dilation will reduce the size of the original figure. So the dilation is a reduction.

Answer:

a reduction
