TRUE OF FALSE. A dilation with a scale factor that is not equal to 1 is always used to create

similar figures while it is never used to create congruent figures.

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation: This is the difference between using transformations to create similar figures vs using transformations to create congruent figures. Similar figures are figures with the same shape. Congruent figures are figures with the same shape and size. If the scale factor is not equal to 1, then the figures are similar. If the scale factor is equal to 1, then the figures are congruent.

Answer:

False! as long as the the Scale Factor is 1, there is still a possibility that the figure will be congruent or greater! GOOD LUCK!
