Question

A square has the coordinates (−2, 2), (−4, 2), (−4, 4), and (−2, 4) at its vertices. The transformed square has the coordinates (−6, 6), (−12, 6), (−12, 12), and (−6, 12) at its vertices. Are the square and its transformation congruent? Why or why not? A. Yes, the transformation is a dilation of the square with a scale factor of . B. Yes, the transformation is a dilation of the square with a scale factor of 3. C. No, the transformation is a dilation of the square with a scale factor of 3. D. No, the transformation is a dilation of the square with a scale factor of .

Answer 1

The answer is C. No, the transformation is a dilation of the square with a scale factor of 3..

Answer 2

the answer is C.
every number for the coordinates of the original square multiplying by 3 get the corresponding coordinates for the new square.
a dilated polygon is similar to the original one, not congruent.
