How can you determine whether a dilation's is a reduction or a enlargement?

To determine whether a dilation is a reduction or an enlargement, compare the scale factor to 1. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the dilation is an enlargement, as the image will be larger than the original. Conversely, if the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the dilation is a reduction, resulting in a smaller image. Additionally, you can observe the distances from the center of dilation; if they increase, it's an enlargement, and if they decrease, it's a reduction.
