A scale factor of 2 means everything is shown in half the size of the original.
With a scale factor of 1, the image is exactly the same size as the original object.
If the scale factor between two shapes is 1, the shapes are congruent.
Yes.
A scale factor of 2.

it is called a outter figure shape
A scale factor of one means that there is no change in size.
Depends what you mean by the "size" of the figure.To double the linear dimensions of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by 2.To double the area of the figure ===> Multiply the linear dimensions by sqrt(2). (1.4142)

A similarity transformation uses a scale factor to enlarge or reduce the size of a figure while preserving its shape. It includes transformations such as dilation and similarity.
Scaling changes the size of a figure. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure is enlarged; if the scale factor is less than 1, the figure is reduced. I the scale factor is equal to 1, the figure's size is unchanged. If there is a centre of enlargement, the new figure can be drawn exactly by multiplying the distance of every point from the centre of enlargement, multiplying this by the scale factor and drawing the new point at this distance from the centre of enlargement. (For a polygonal figure, only the vertices need be measured and the lines between the vertices of the original figure drawn in). With a centre of enlargement, the scale factor can be negative. In this case, the distance to the new points is measured on the opposite side of the centre to the original points, so that it is a straight line form the original point, through the centre to the new point.
If you change the scale factor of a geometric figure by a factor "x", that is, keeping the new figure similar to the old one, the perimeter (which is also a linear measurement) will change by the SAME factor "x".Note that any area will change by a factor of x squared.
At a scale of 1.8 to 1, the corresponding length on the smaller figure is 6 2/3 cm (6.66 cm) 12 cm is approximately 1.8 times 6.66 cm
