Answer: This is an reduction.
Step-by-step explanation:
- A dilation a king of transformation that creates an similar image (about a center of dilation) of the actual figure by changing its size with the use of a scale factor(k).
- It either shrinks or stretches the image.
- If |k| is greater than 1 then the image is an enlargement .
- If |k| is less than 1 then the image is an reduction.
- If |k| is equals to 1 then there is no change in size.
Given : A street is drawn by dilating segment about center A with a scale factor greater than 0 but less than 1.
Then by using (2.) , we can say that this is an reduction.
