Question

Explain what relation a dilated figure has to its original. (1 point)
• It is both congruent and similar.
• It is neither congruent nor similar.
• It is similar but not congruent.
• It is congruent but not similar.

Answer 1

A dilated figure is similar to its original figure but not congruent. This means that while the shapes are the same and the angles are equal, the sizes differ due to the scaling factor used in the dilation. Therefore, the correct answer is:

• It is similar but not congruent.
