In 2D computer graphics transformations, if the scaling factors satisfy $0 < s_x < 1$ and $0 < s_y < 1$ , what happens to the size of the transformed object?

Multiple Choice Options

A
The object enlarges
B
The object shrinks (diminishes in size)
✓ Correct Option
C
The object rotates by 90 degrees
D
The object remains identical in size

Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation

Scaling multiplies coordinates by scaling factors: $x' = x \cdot s_x$ and $y' = y \cdot s_y$ . If $0 < s_x, s_y < 1$ , the geometric dimensions of the object are reduced, causing it to shrink.

Option Analysis:

•

Option A (The object enlarges): Occurs when

s_x, s_y > 1

•

Option B (The object shrinks (diminishes in size)): Correct. Scaling factors between 0 and 1 reduce size.

•

Option C (The object rotates by 90 degrees): Managed by rotation matrices (sine/cosine), not uniform scaling.

•

Option D (The object remains identical in size): Occurs when

s_x = s_y = 1
