Question

jake drew the figures below on a piece of paper. he says that figure efgh is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form figure efgh. he also says that the center of dilation is point d. which mistake did jake make, if any? the scale factor is wrong. it should be less than 1. the center of dilation is wrong. it should be on a vertex. jake didnt make a mistake.

Explanation:

The new figure $E'F'G'H'$ is smaller than the original figure $EFGH$, so the scale - factor should be less than 1 instead of 3. The center of dilation doesn't have to be on a vertex.

Answer:

The scale factor is wrong. It should be less than 1.
