Question

The diagram represents a dilation with a center at P. If the scale factor of e dilation is K, which statement about the diagram is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

C is correct. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement. The segment UT could be an enlargement of the segment ST.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. If > 1, then the image of could be .  

B. If 0 < < 1, then the image of could be . ( If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction )

C. If > 1, then the image of could be .

D.If = 2, then the image of is itself.

A is not correct.  If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction.

B is not correct.  If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction.

C is correct.  If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement.

D is not correct.  If the scale factor is 1, the figure and the image are congruent.
