Quadrilateral a’b’c’d’ is a dilation of quadrilateral abcd about point p with a scale factor of 212 . is the dilation a reduction or an enlargement?

The given dilation is a enlargement.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a dilation either enlarge or shrinks the original figure .It includes the concept of scale factor by which we determine whether the dilation is a stretch or a shrink.the dilation occurs around a fix point in a plane which is known as center of dilation.

If scale factor>1 the dilation is enlargement( stretch)

if scale factor<1 the dilation is shrink.

Here we are given that the scale factor is 212>1.

Hence our dilation is a enlargement( stretch).

use formula for the circle a=3.14
