Answer:

Dilation and reflection

Explanation:

To have two congruent triangles you need to have:

1-Two angles and the sides between them respectively congruent

2-Two sides and the angle between them respectively congruent

Or

3- three sides respectively congruent

In every case of dilation we wont have any side congruent to the initial triangle, so neither 1, 2 or 3 will be true.
