Question

kyle performs a transformation on a triangle. the resulting triangle is similar but not congruent to the original triangle. which transformation did kyle perform on the triangle? a dilation b reflection c rotation d translation

Explanation:

Step1: Recall transformation properties

• Dilation: Changes the size (scale factor ≠ 1), so similar but not congruent.
• Reflection/Rotation/Translation: Preserve size (congruent), only change position/orientation.

Step2: Analyze the result

The resulting triangle is similar (same shape) but not congruent (different size). So the transformation must be dilation.

Answer:

A. dilation
