Two squares, a smaller one inside a larger one, are plotted in quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The smaller square shares a vertex and two of its sides with parts of two sides of the larger square. The x- and y-axis both range from 0 to 8 in increments of 1.

Two equivalent triangles are plotted on a coordinate plane, one in quadrant 1 and one that starts in quadrant 2 and crosses into quadrant 1. The x-axis ranges from negative 4 to 7 in increments of 1, and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 7 in increments of 1. A line connects a vertex of the triangle in quadrant 2 to the matching vertex of the triangle in quadrant 1.

Two triangles of different sizes are plotted on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 4 to 8 in increments of 1, and the y-axis ranges from negative 4 to 10 in increments of 1.The larger triangle is plotted around the origin and extends into all four quadrants, and the smaller triangle extends between quadrants 1 and 2.

Two rectangles, a smaller one inside a larger one, are plotted around the origin on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 3 to 3 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from negative 3 to 5 in increments of 1.

The correct response is:
Two squares, a smaller one inside a larger one, are plotted in quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The smaller square shares a vertex and two of its sides with parts of two sides of the larger square. The x- and y-axis both range from 0 to 8 in increments of 1.
This transformation is an example of a dilation (scaling) centered at a vertex, which preserves both distance and angle measures.
