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. In a sequence of transformations from the preimage to the image, which type of transformation must occur?(1 point)

Answer 1

In this case, the transformation that occurs when the lengths of the sides of the similar figure are twice the lengths of the corresponding sides of the original figure is called dilation. Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but keeps its shape the same, making it larger or smaller by a certain scale factor.

So, the correct response is:

dilation
