= Scaling (geometry)
{wiki=Scaling_(geometry)}
In geometry, scaling refers to the process of resizing an object by a certain factor. This involves changing the dimensions of the object uniformly (maintaining the shape) or non-uniformly (changing shape) while preserving the proportions of the object. The factor by which the object is scaled is called the scale factor. When scaling is uniform, every linear dimension of the object (length, width, height) is multiplied by the same scale factor.
