explain what relation a figure dilate has to its original

Question

it is congruent but not similar

Answer 1

A figure that is dilated is not congruent to its original because it undergoes a transformation that changes its size but not its shape. However, it is similar to its original figure because the corresponding angles of the dilated figure are congruent to the corresponding angles of the original figure. The sides of the dilated figure are also proportional to the sides of the original figure.
