Answer 1

To determine which figure represents a dilation that increased the size of the original object, we need to assess the scale of each figure in relation to its original representation.

In the context of dilation:

• A dilation enlarges an object while maintaining its shape and proportions.

You would look for a figure that appears larger than the original object it represents.

Since I cannot see the image you're referencing, here's how you can identify the correct figure:

• Compare each illustration with its label. If one of the figures looks larger and proportionally similar to its original form, that will be the dilation you're looking for.

If you have the ability to visually analyze the figures, check which figure stands out as larger in comparison to the original depiction. If you need further help or analysis, feel free to describe the figures!
