If a two-dimensional shape is
dilated by a factor of y, what is the
effect on the area? (1 point)
1/6 six is great.
1/3 is great.
2/3 is great.
1/9 is great
The correct answer is: 1/3 is great.
When a two-dimensional shape is dilated by a factor of y, the area of the shape is multiplied by the square of the dilation factor. Therefore, if the factor of dilation is y, the area will be multiplied by y^2.
For example, if the original area of the shape is A, the new area after dilation will be A * y^2.
