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.

Which scale drawing is a dilation that increased the size of the original object it represents?(1 point)
Figure

Answer 1

To determine which figure represents a scale drawing that is a dilation (increased size) of the original object, we need to think about how each figure relates to its label.

1. Figure 1: Chair - A dilation would show a chair that looks bigger than the original.
2. Figure 2: Tree - A dilation would show a tree that is larger than what it is normally, making it appear taller or wider.
3. Figure 3: Nut - A dilation would show a nut that is enlarged to represent a larger size.
4. Figure 4: House - A dilation would indicate a house that is larger, making it seem more like a small mansion or a much larger structure.

In absence of the image, you would look for the figure that appears larger and maintains its original proportions compared to the others.

To answer the question, refer to these characteristics. If you have the illustrations to analyze, see which one appears to have been enlarged relative to a similar object. The answer would be the figure that visually grows in size while retaining its shape.
