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.

Answer 1

In this case, since the lengths of the sides of the similar figure are twice the lengths of the corresponding sides of the original figure, a dilation transformation must occur. Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure while maintaining its shape and the proportions of its sides. Therefore, the correct response is:

dilation
