Answer: Dilation and Rotation

Reasoning:

Dilating figures produce similar figures because they maintain congruent angles, but their side lengths are proportional. So, when a figure dilated, it remains the same shape, but the side lengths increases or decreases proportionally with a factor, called the the scale factor or constant “k.” Additionally, because the triangle is dilated then rotated, the rotated triangle will be congruent to the dilated triangle, not the original.
