Question

Under a dilation, a figure is reduced and its orientation is preserved. Choose the statement that best describes the dilation.

Answer 1

Answer: The image is along the same ray as the preimage but is closer to the center of dilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

• A dilation is a transformation that creates an image by stretching or shrinking a the original shape by a scale factor. It preserves the shape but may not the size.

If a figure is dilated such that its its orientation is preserved then the image is along the same ray as the pre-image .

Also, if the figure is reduced then it seem closer to the center of dilation as compare to the pre-image.

Therefore, the statement that best describes the dilation is "The image is along the same ray as the preimage but is closer to the center of dilation."

Answer 2

The same ray= oreintation is preserved closer to the center =figure is reduced 
so the answer is c hope this helped you have a great day!!
