Question

suppose one figure is mapped to a similar figure on the coordinate plane. the lengths of the sides of the similar figure are twice the lengths of the corresponding sides of the original figure. in a sequence of transformations from the preimage to the image, which type of transformation must occur?

a. rotation
b. reflection
c. translation
d. dilation

Answer 1

In this scenario, the corresponding sides of the similar figure are twice the lengths of the sides of the original figure. This indicates that the transformation involved is a dilation, which is a type of transformation that alters the size of the figure while maintaining its shape and proportions.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**d. dilation**
