Question

does dilating an image create an image congruent to the pre - image? explain your reasoning.

Explanation:

Dilating an image changes its size. Congruent figures have the same shape and size. Since dilation involves a change in size (either enlargement or reduction), the dilated image is not congruent to the pre - image.

Answer:

No, dilating an image does not create an image congruent to the pre - image because dilation changes the size of the image while congruent figures must have the same size and shape.
