The type of transformation that uses a scale factor to change the size of a figure is called dilation. In a dilation, a figure is enlarged or reduced based on a scale factor applied to the coordinates of its points relative to a fixed point, known as the center of dilation. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure enlarges; if it is between 0 and 1, the figure reduces in size.
