Explanation:

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape. When a triangle is dilated by a factor of \(\frac{2}{3}\), the new triangle (image) will be similar to the original triangle (pre - image). Similar figures have the same shape but different sizes.

Answer:

They will be the same shape but not the same size.
