In a dilation with a scale factor of 3/4 , the image is __________ the preimage
In a dilation, the image is a scaled version of the preimage. The scale factor determines how much larger or smaller the image is compared to the preimage.
In this case, the scale factor is 3/4. This means that the image will be smaller than the preimage because the scale factor is less than 1.
To find the image, you can multiply each coordinate of the preimage by the scale factor. Let's say the coordinates of a point in the preimage are (x, y). To find the corresponding point in the image, you would multiply both x and y by 3/4.
For example, if the preimage has a point (4, 6), the corresponding point in the image would be (4 * (3/4), 6 * (3/4)) = (12/4, 18/4) = (3, 4.5).
So, the image is smaller than the preimage.
In a dilation with a scale factor of 3/4, the image is smaller than the preimage.
