Given that image length = 2 units and preimage length = 6 units.

(Substitute image length = 2 units and preimage length = 6 units)
Scalar factor = ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=d93f4e0113e9d1b21f5af9aaed21c03b.png\")

Since the scalar factor is less than 1,the dilation is an reduction.
