The graph among the given options that shows a dilation is; Graph A

When we are talking about dilation of objects, it just means shrinking or enlarging an object by a scale factor. This means ratio of corresponding sides of both objects must be equal.

A) Ratio of corresponding longer side = 4/8 = ½

Ratio of corresponding shorter side = 2/4 = ½

Thus, this shows a dilation.

B) This involves a square and a rectangle. They are not the same because all sides of the square are equal but not all sides of the rectangle are equal. Thus, a dilation is not possible.

C) the ratio of the corresponding sides are not equal and as such it is not dilated.

D) The ratio of the corresponding sides are not equal and as such it is not dilated.
