Question

how can dilations help in problem - solving in mathematics?
a. by changing the properties of numbers
b. by altering the shapes of figures
c. by resizing geometric figures while maintaining their proportions
d. by simplifying equations

Explanation:

Dilations in math are transformations that change the size of a geometric figure. They keep the shape (proportions) the same but make the figure larger or smaller. They don't change number - properties, figure - shapes, or simplify equations directly.

Answer:

C. By resizing geometric figures while maintaining their proportions
