Which could a dilation result in? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
a figure getting smaller
B
a figure moving to the left
C
a figure flipping upside down
D
a figure getting larger
E
a figure turning about a point

Explanation

A dilation changes a figure’s size by multiplying its dimensions by a scale factor. A scale factor between 0 and 1 makes the figure smaller, while a scale factor greater than 1 makes it larger. Moving, flipping, or turning are not results of dilation alone.
