Question

1. what does a dilation do to a figure?

a. changes its proportions
b. changes its size while keeping its shape and orientation
c. changes its angles
d. changes its shape and size

Explanation:

Dilation is a transformation in geometry. It multiplies the distances of all points of a figure from a fixed - point (center of dilation) by a scale factor. This changes the size of the figure. The shape remains the same because the angles between the sides of the figure do not change, and the orientation also remains the same.

Answer:

B. Changes its size while keeping its shape and orientation
