Description

The transform property has a variety of functions that let you scale, move, rotate, skew, etc., your elements. When used with pseudo-classes such as :hover that specify a certain state of an element, the transform property can easily add interactivity to your elements. Here's an example to scale the paragraph elements to 2.1 times their original size when a user hovers over them:
p:hover {
  transform: scale(2.1);
}

Note: Applying a transform to a div element will also affect any child elements contained in the div.

Instructions

Add a CSS rule for the hover state of the div and use the transform property to scale the div element to 1.1 times its original size when a user hovers over it.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The size of the <code>div</code> element should scale 1.1 times when the user hovers over it.
    testString: assert(code.match(/div:hover\s*?{\s*?transform:\s*?scale\(1\.1\);/gi));
