Question

Which transformation of a scalene triangle produces an image that is similar but not congruent, to the original?

Answer 1

Dilations make the image of the original figure bigger or smaller by a certain scale factor. And similar triangles are basically the same triangles but with different side lengths that can be attained by a scale factor.

Answer 2

Take a look at what RegentsPrep.org wrote : "A dilation is a transformation...that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size. A dilation stretches or shrinks the original figure. "
