Question

Which scale factor would produce an image larger than the pre-image in a dilation?

one-fourth

one-half

1

3

Answer 1

3.

Answer 2

a scale factor of 1/4 would turn any pre-image into a smaller image

ex: if something is 12 units long, applying the scale factor would make it 12*(1/4) = 3 units long (so it's now smaller)

Answer 3

1/4 , 1/2 are less
1 is same
3 enlarges.

Answer 4

the same can be said of 1/2 as well

Answer 5
