When the scale factor of a dilation is less than one, the dilation is a reduction (gets smaller).

• True

• False

An image is dilated at a scale factor of 1.5. This means the dilation is an enlargement and the dilated image will be bigger.

• True

• False

Choose the correct scale factor:

• 2
• 3
• 1/3
• 1/2
