Answer:
A.The scale factor is 0.25 ⇒ <u>True</u>
B.The scale factor is 4 ⇒ <u>False</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>See the attached figure.</u>
A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size.
A dilation that creates a smaller image is called a reduction.
As Shown, two right triangles, The first triangle is dilated to form the second triangle.
We can deduce that the second image is a smaller than the first triangle.
The hypotenuse of the first triangle = 4.4
The hypotenuse of the second triangle = 1.1
So, the scale factor = 1.1/4.4 = 11/44 = 1/4 = 0.25
<u>We will check the options:</u>
A.The scale factor is 0.25 ⇒ True
B.The scale factor is 4 ⇒ False
