This question doesn't have a well way to explain it to a guide the asker to a solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you think its D @Mikeyy1992

Directrix (directrix):

@Mikeyy1992 ran off. I must agree that this is an odd question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I'm sorry. Somehow I zoomed out to %15.

Directrix (directrix):

I don't know how enlargement is defined in your text. I am thinking of enlarge as in the way a photocopy machine enlarges. The image gets "bigger" but is still geometrically similar (think similar triangles).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me look it up

Directrix (directrix):

@Ambbiiee Good idea. I'm not all that "up" on transformational Geometry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This question provides you a size of a object. You compare that object to the other ones. You can see the object provided in A, B, and C are enlargements of the original object in the question. D is not a enlargement, because it is smaller than the original object. You would notice that enlargement means bigger.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was typing something similar to this before my screen was zoomed out -.-

Directrix (directrix):

So, an enlargement is a type of dilation, then. I looked in my Geometry text. No mention of enlargement but I did read a statement that dilation has to do with similarity and does not preserve congruence. So, @Mikeyy1992 I am thinking that your reasoning is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Enlargement is associated with many different subjects, and seem to have a different meaning in different words, but if you understand the meaning of the words for that subject you are learning/taking, you see that enlargement means bigger.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i want to say the answer is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why is that?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, @Ambbiiee what did you read in your text?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember, the question is asking which is NOT an example of enlargement.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because its the only thing closes to the actual image also i read that a Enlargement, sometimes called scaling or dilation, is a kind of transformation that changes the size of an object. The image created is similar to the object.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You must be misunderstanding the question. What you are saying is all correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh , i had to reread the question over.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it is not an example of enlargement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Goodjob! (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks sometimes it take a little bit of rereading haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Welcome. Yes, sometimes it does. Sometimes you misread a question and pick the wrong answer. Happens to me a lot. :P
