Answer:
The dilation is an enlargement
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and this ratio is called the scale factor
In this problem Triangles A'B'C' and ABC are similar by AA Similarity Postulate
Let
z------> the scale factor
so
[tex]z=\frac{A'C'}{AC}[/tex]
substitute the values
[tex]z=\frac{2+8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]z=\frac{10}{2}=5[/tex]
The scale factor is greater than 1
therefore
The dilation is an enlargement
