Which statement about these rectangles is true ?

The statement which is true about these rectangles is:

          The dilation is an enlargement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation Transformation--

It is the translation which changes the size of the original figure.The shape of the figure is conserved.Also, in dilation either the size increases (i.e. the figure enlarges) or it decreases( i.e. the figure reduces).Also, in a polygon if there is a dilation then there is a scalar multiplication in each of the sides of the polygon.If the scalar multiple is greater than 1 then there is a enlargement.and if the scalar multiple is less than 1 but greater than 0 then there is a reduction.

Here we see that each of the sides of the original figure is multiplied by "1.5" to obtain a larger rectangle.

This means that the dilation is a enlargement.

( since the scalar is strictly greater than one )
