Question

what is the only type of geometric transformation in which the size of a figure can change? (1 point)
rotation
dilation
translation
reflection

Explanation:

• Rotation: It rotates a figure around a point. The size and shape of the figure remain the same.
• Dilation: It enlarges or reduces a figure by a scale factor. So the size of the figure changes.
• Translation: It slides a figure. The size and shape of the figure do not change.
• Reflection: It flips a figure over a line. The size and shape of the figure remain unchanged.

Answer:

B. dilation
