Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) the answer is the option A $0.5$

Part 2) the answer is the option B Reduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the scale factor

The scale factor is equal to divide the measurement of the reduced  hexagon by the measurement of the original hexagon

so

$scale\ factor=\frac{0.6}{1.2}=0.5$

Step 2

The scale factor is equal to $0.5$

$0.5< 1$ -------> represent a reduction
