Math need help. K12 I don’t understand. Book and lesson no help

Answer:
Figure 3
Figure 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure 1 is the pre-image
The side length is 2. We multiply the side length by the scale factor.
2 * 4 = 8
The new figure will have a side length of 8. That will be Figure 3
Figure 2 is the pre-image
The side length is 4. We multiply the side length by the scale factor.
4 * 1/2 = 2
The new figure will have a side length of 2. That will be Figure 1
Part 1
The correct answer is figure 3
Part 2
the correct answer is figure 1
Dilation means changing the shape of an object. In mathematics dilation is refereed to change the size of a shape. If we see figure 1 it shows 2 cm and the question says in part 1 that if figure 1 is pre image then which image is dilation by 4 so as we see that 2 x 4 gives us 8 so the answer would be figure 3 because it actually shows 8. If figure 1 was given as 1 cm then figure 2 would be the answer.
If figure 2 is the pre image then 1/4 will be 2 x 1/4 2hich means the answer should be 2 and we see that it is figure 1.
Because 2 x 1/4 will give us 2/4 and it will be 2. Which is the size of figure 1.
