Answer

The formula used to enlarge a shape in mathematics is based on a center of enlargement and a scale factor.

If the center of enlargement is the origin (0,0)(0,0), and the scale factor is kk, then a point (x,y)(x,y) on the original shape is mapped to a new point (x′,y′)(x',y') on the enlarged shape using the formula:

(x′,y′)=(kx,ky)(x', y') = (kx, ky)

If the center of enlargement is a point (a,b)(a,b) and the scale factor is kk, then a point (x,y)(x,y) on the original shape is mapped to a new point (x′,y′)(x',y') on the enlarged shape using the formula:

(x′,y′)=(a+k(x−a),b+k(y−b))(x', y') = (a + k(x-a), b + k(y-b))

Here, kk is the scale factor.

  • If k>1k > 1, the shape is enlarged.
  • If 0<k<10 < k < 1, the shape is reduced.
  • If k<0k < 0, the shape is enlarged or reduced and rotated by 180∘180^\circ.
