Answer 1

A dilated figure is similar to its original figure, but not congruent. This is because dilation involves resizing the figure while maintaining its shape and the proportion of its dimensions. However, the two figures are not congruent since they do not have the same size. Therefore, the correct response is: "It is similar but not congruent."
