Which scale factors produce a contraction under a dilation of the original image? select each correct answer. −6 −0.5 0.5 6

A contraction would make the image smaller.

A negative number reflects the image and changes the size based on the number.

To make an image smaller the factor needs to be less than 1

so -0.5 and 0.5 would make the image smaller since 0.5 is less than 1.

The scale factors 0.5 and -0.5 are the values to determine the contraction under the dilation of original image.

The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar objects. Generally, it is used to relate the size of one object or geometry with respect to the other.

Thus, we can conclude that the scale factors 0.5 and -0.5 are the values to determine the contraction under the dilation of original image.

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
