Question

Which sequence of transformations creates a similar but not congruent triangle? (5 points)

A
Rotation and reflection
B
Reflection and translation
C
Translation and rotation
D
Dilation and reflection

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

Answer 2

D. Dilation and reflection

Explanation:

There are 4 main types of transformations, rotation, reflection, translation, and dilation. 3 of these transformations are defined as rigid, rigid means that the transformation preserves angles and distance between points. If these aspects are preserved than the image is congruent. The only non-rigid transformation listed is dilation, therefore D must be correct.
