What is dilation?

Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.

There is no effect of dilation on the angle.

A photograph measures 5 inches (0.13 meters) wide and 6 inches (0.15 meters) long.

The picture is enlarged to fit on a wall.

If the new larger picture is 150 inches (3.81 meters) wide.

Then the scale factor of the enlargement will be

Scale factor = 150 / 5

Scale factor = 30

Then the length of the picture will be

The length of the picture is given by the product of the scale factor and original length.

Length = 30 x 6

Length = 180 inches (4.57 meters)

Then the dimension of the enlarge picture will be 150 inches (3.81 meters) wide and 180 inches (4.57 meters) long.

Then the correct option is D.
