How can you model the effect of a dilation by a scale factor of 3 on the area of a two-dimensional shape? (1 point) O The area will be 3 times as great. o The area will be 1 | times as great. • The area will be 9 times as great. O The area will be 6 times as great.
Yes, I am sure. When a shape is dilated by a scale factor of 3, the area is multiplied by the square of the scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is 3, so the area will be 3^2 = 9 times as great.
