Enlargement less than 1
Enlargements that are negative

47. Complete the paragraph using the words below
The centre of enlargement is a point from which a shape is enlarged. Positive scale factors one produce shapes that are larger than the original shape so that the centre of enlargement, original shape and shape appear in that order. Negative
less than minus one produce enlarged shapes that appear rotated. Scale factors less than one produce smaller enlargements although we still call them enlargements. To find the we draw lines through the corresponding of the shapes. The coordinates where these meet is the centre of enlargement.
