Answer 1

Answer:

1=true  2=wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

1= the scale factor IS 0.25.

2=the scale factor is NOT 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

A.The scale factor is 0.25 ⇒ True

B.The scale factor is 4 ⇒ False

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size.

A dilation that creates a smaller image is called a reduction.

As Shown, two right triangles, The first triangle is dilated to form the second triangle.

We can deduce that the second image is a smaller than the first triangle.

The hypotenuse of the first triangle = 4.4

The hypotenuse of the second triangle = 1.1

So, the scale factor = 1.1/4.4 = 11/44 = 1/4 = 0.25

We will check the options:

A.The scale factor is 0.25 ⇒ True

B.The scale factor is 4 ⇒ False
