Answer 2

The possible scale factor is 1/3

Given:

A dilation produces a smaller figure.

To find:

Which is a possible scale factor? –  2, 1/3, 1, 4

Solution:

Let's know about Dilation:

Dilation is a type of transformation in geometry that changes the size of a figure while maintaining its shape. It is sometimes referred to as scaling or enlargement.

In a dilation, every point of the original figure is multiplied by a scale factor to produce a new figure that is similar to the original.

Here the contracting or enlarging of the figure will depend on the scale factor for example

When the scale factor is greater than 1, the new figure will become enlarged to the original. When the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the new figure will be constructed more than the original.    

Given that a dilation produces a smaller figure hence, the scale factor must be less than 1

Hence, The possible scale factor is 1/3
