Question

1. dilating a shape from the origin by a factor of 0.5 will result in what change? a. the shapes size will be halved. b. the shapes position will change. c. the shapes orientation will change. d. the shapes size will double.

Explanation:

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a shape. When dilating by a factor of 0.5, each coordinate of the shape's vertices is multiplied by 0.5, which halves the distance of each point from the origin and thus halves the size of the shape.

Answer:

a. The shape's size will be halved.
