Question

if scale factor k>1 we get ------ figures

Answer 1

Scale factor determines whether the new figure is going to be the enlarged one or the reduced one .

If

$k>1$

then the new figure have to be the enlarged one and if

$k<1$

then the new figure have to be the reduced one .

So, if scale factor k>1, we get enlarged figures .

Answer 2

Given statement: if scale factor k>1 we get ------ figures

Here , we need to complete the statement by filling the correct word or phrase.

We use scale factor for comparing similar shapes and in dilation.

Let k be the scale factor, then the characteristic of k are

• If k> 1 then the image is an enlargement.
• If k<1 then the image is a reduction.
• If k= 1 then the image is congruent.

Therefore, if scale factor k>1 we get large figures.

Thus, the answer is if scale factor k>1 we get large figures.
