Similar Figures in the Coordinate Plane Quick Check 2 of 52 of 5 Items Question Suppose one figure is mapped to a similar figure on the coordinate plane.

In the scenario you presented, since the lengths of the sides of the similar figure are twice the lengths of the corresponding sides of the original figure, a dilation is the necessary transformation that must occur.

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but preserves its shape, by expanding or contracting it based on a scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is 2, meaning the image is twice as large as the original figure.

So, the correct response is dilation.
