Question

when the scale factor of a dilation is greater than 1, the new figure is

smaller than the
original figure
of a dilation is equal to 1, the new figure is
the same size as
the original figure
larger than the
original figure

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure. When the scale factor \(k> 1\), each side length of the new figure is \(k\) times the corresponding side length of the original figure. For example, if the original side length is \(a\), the new side length is \(ka\) with \(ka>a\) (since \(k > 1\)).

Answer:

larger than the original figure
