Question

A dilation is a nonrigid transformation that can produce enlarged or reduced images from a given pre-image. How do you know that a dilation will produce similar figures? Explain.

Answer 1

A translation is a transformation that slides each point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. The lines connecting each point of the preimage to its image are congruent. One type of transformation that is not an isometry is called a dilation.
