To determine which scale drawing is a dilation that increased the size of the original object it represents, we need to look for a representation where the object is larger than its original version. Since I can't view images, I'll guide you on how to evaluate each figure:

  1. Figure 1 (Chair): Check if the chair appears larger than a standard chair in proportion to its original size.
  2. Figure 2 (Tree): Assess if the tree is portrayed bigger than a typical tree in terms of height and width.
  3. Figure 3 (Nut): Consider whether the nut looks larger than a common nut, in scale.
  4. Figure 4 (House): Determine if the house illustration is scaled up larger than a regular-sized house.

The correct answer will be the figure where the size of the object depicted is greater than its standard size, indicating that it underwent a dilation. Based on the descriptions, select the figure that meets this criterion.
