I NEED help and FAST!! :(
3. Consider this dilation.
(a) Is the image of the dilation a reduction or an enlargement of the original figure? Explain.
(b) What is the scale factor? Explain.

 The answers are:

(a) The dilation is a reduction of the original figure.

(b) The scale factor of dilation is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given a dilation from ΔMSV to ΔM'S'V'.

We are to check whether the dilation is a reduction or an enlargement of the original figure. Also, to find the scale factor of dilation.

We know that if a figure is dilated to form the image figure, then the scale factor of dilation is given by

If S < 1, then the dilation will be a reduction and if S > 1, then the dilation will be an enlargement.

We can note from the figure that

the co-ordinates of the vertices of the original triangle MSV are M(-3, 3), S(6, 3) and V(3, -3),

and the co-ordinates of the dilated triangle M'S'V' are M'(-2, 2), S'(4, 2) and V'(2, -2).

So, the lengths of the corresponding sides MS and M'S' of both the original and dilated figures are calculated using distance  formula as follows:

Therefore, the scale factor of dilation is given by

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
