A scale factor whose absolute value is greater than one is an enlargement whereas if the absolute value is less than 1 it is a reduction.
greater then 1
If the dilation is >0 but <1, it is a reduction. If it is any number >1, it is an enlargement.

The scale factor between the 2 values is 36/18 = 6/3 = 2(but the dilation from 36 to 18, specifically, is 1/2, since 18/36 = 1/2).
The dilation of 22 with scale factor 2.5 is 55.The formula for finding a dilation with a scale factor is x' = kx (k = scale factor), so x' = 2.5(22) = 55.
The type of dilation that occurs with a scale factor of 14 is enlargement. Any time the scale factor is larger than 1, it is enlargement.
No a scale factor of 1 is not a dilation because, in a dilation it must remain the same shape, which it would, but the size must either enlarge or shrink.

The scale factor is the ratio of any side of the image and the corresponding side of the original figure.
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.
