Question

Which transformation, when performed on the triangle ABC, will result in the transformed figure A'B'C being similar but NOT congruent to the original triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

b. a dilation by a scale factor of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Which transformation, when performed on the triangle ABC, will result in the transformed figure

A'B'C' being similar but NOT congruent to the original triangle?

a. a reflection over the x-axis

b. a dilation by a scale factor of 2

C.a translation two units to the right

d. a rotation 90° clockwise about the origin

Solution:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, translation, reflection and dilation.

Rigid transformation are transformation that preserves the size and shape of a figure. Examples of rigid transformation are reflection, translation and rotation.

Dilation preserves the shape but not the size of a figure.

If translation, rotation or reflection is done on triangle ABC, the transformed figure would be congruent to the original triangle. But, if dilation is done, the transformed figure would be similar but NOT congruent to the original triangle.
