I was absent the day we learned about this for the first time and I need to know it for my final

CP = 16

#

CP' = 52

#

CP' / CP = ?

Oh so it’s just division?

#

But then how am I supposed to know whether it’s an enlargement or reduction

true violet CP' = 52

Final is

true violet May 27, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

true violet CP = 16

Initial is

#

Divide final by initial

#

If the value is > 1 means enlarge

= 1 means same size

< 1 means reduction

Wait a sec... I thought that a dilation always meant an enlargement and that a contraction is the opposite.
