He is wrong. A transformation is a reduction when the scale factor is between -1 and 1. If the scale factor is greater than 1, then it's a dilation.

In this case, the scale factor is a fraction, but fractions can represent numbers outsise the [-1,1] interval.

In this case, in fact, 8/3 is an improper fraction, meaning exactly that it represents a number greater than 1.

So, this transformation is a dilation, becase the scale factor 8/3 is greater than 1.

Answer:

Elias is not correct. A scale factor of 8/3 is an enlargement because it is greater than 1. A reduction has a scale factor between 0 and 1.

I hope this helps. could I please have a brainliest? It would mean a whole lot to me.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Interior angle = 5x

x + 5x = 180   { interior angle and exterior angle are linear pair}

6x = 180

x = 180/6

x = 30

Interior angle = 5*30 = 150
