If the figure is transformed as shown in the diagram. The transformation is: A) dilation, then reflection.
What is the dilation?
There are several steps involved in the transformation depicted in the diagram. The figure first experiences dilatation. Dilation is a transformation that modifies a figure's size but not its shape. It's possible to imagine the figure being stretched or contracted.
The figure is mirrored after the dilatation. The change known as reflection causes the figure to be flipped over a line known as the line of reflection. The figure's orientation is altered by the reflection, giving the impression that it is a mirror image.
Therefore the correct option is A.
