Question

Explain how an enlargement or a reduction in the dimensions of a building would cause a change in the scale factor.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the scale factor is 2, draw a line from the centre of enlargement, through each vertex, which is twice as long as the length you measured. If the scale factor is 3, draw lines which are three times as long. If the scale factor is 1/2, draw lines which are 1/2 as long, etc. The centre of enlargement is marked.
