A dilation produces a smaller figure. Which is a possible scale factor? -2 1/3 1 4

Answer 1

Hey Mate,.

Answer :-

• 1 / 3

Explanation :-

As we know that ,

If a dilation produces a smaller figure then ,

0 < Scale factor < 1 .

So then ,

Case 1 ) -2 => The scale factor must be a positive number .

Case 2 ) 1 / 3 => 0 < 1/3 < 1 => Is a possible scale factor .

Case 3 ) 1 => This scale factor does not produce a smaller figure , It produces the same figure .

Case 4 ) 4 => This scale factor produces a larger figure .

• Hence, the answer is 1/3 .
