Question

True or False: If a dilation of a shape occurs with a scale factor of 0.75, the shape will be an enlargement.

Answer 1

Answer:

• False.

----------------

When the scale factor is greater than 1 (k > 1), it represents enlargement and when 0 < k < 1 it is opposite.

Since 0.75 is less than 1, this is not an enlargement, so the answer is False.
