Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A square split into four separate and equal boxes shows four shapes at different scales as follows: A star at a scale of 1 to 5; an octagon at a scale of 20 to 0.5; a triangle at a scale of 10 to 1; and a pentagon at a scale of 1 to 0.1.

Which scale drawing is a dilation that decreased the size of the original object it represents? Figure 1 is the star with scale 1:5 , Figure 2 is the octagon with scale 2:0.5 , Figure 3 is the triangle with scale 10:1 , and Figure 4 is the pentagon with scale 1:0.1 .
