Use the image to answer the question

A rectangle split into four separate and equal boxes shows four illustrations with corresponding labels as follows: Figure 1: chair; figure 2: tree; figure 3: nut; and figure 4: house.

Without seeing the referenced image, I can't give a specific answer to which scale drawing is a dilation that increased the size of the original object. However, in general, a dilation in geometry refers to a transformation that alters the size of an object while maintaining its shape.

To determine which figure represents a dilation:

  1. Look for an illustration that is a larger version of the original shape.
  2. The proportions should remain the same (e.g., if a chair was illustrated, its shape should still resemble a chair but it will be bigger).
  3. Check the corresponding label and see if it has any key indications of being enlarged.

If you can provide more detail about the visual aspects of the figures, I could help you better identify which is a dilation.
