Under a dilation, a figure is reduced and its orientation is preserved. choose the statement that best describes the dilation.
a.
the image is along the same ray as the preimage but is farther from the center of dilation.
b.
the image is along the opposite ray from the preimage but is farther from the center of dilation.
c.
the image is along the same ray as the preimage but is closer to the center of dilation.
d.
the image is along the opposite ray from the preimage but is closer to the center of dilation.

The image is along the same ray as the preimage but is closer to the center of dilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a figure is dilated such that its its orientation is preserved then the image is along the same ray as the pre-image .

Also, if the figure is reduced then it seem closer to the center of dilation as compare to the pre-image.

Therefore, the statement that best describes the dilation is "The image is along the same ray as the preimage but is closer to the center of dilation."
