Question

when the scale factor of a dilation is less than one, the dilation is a reduction. true false

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of dilation

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure. If the scale factor \(k\) satisfies \(0 < k<1\), each coordinate of the original figure is multiplied by \(k\). For example, if a point \((x,y)\) is dilated with scale factor \(k\), the new point is \((kx,ky)\). Since \(kx0,y>0\)), the figure gets smaller.

Answer:

True
