Question

what is the result of a dilation with a scale factor between 0 and 1? a. the figure stays the same size b. the figure disappears c. the figure is reduced in size d. the figure enlarges

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Dilation is a transformation in geometry. When the scale - factor $k$ of a dilation satisfies $0 < k<1$, each coordinate of the original figure is multiplied by this number. This results in the distances from the center of dilation to the points of the figure being decreased, thus reducing the size of the figure.

Answer:

C. The figure is reduced in size
