Would a dilation result in a figure that is similar? Why or Why not?

• Yes, because a dilation scales a figure by a factor of k, making a proportional shape, just a different size.

• No, because a dilation scales a figure by a factor of k, making it a different size which means they cannot be similar.

• No because dilations do not change the size or shape of the figure, which means they are congruent.

• Yes, because dilations do not change the size or shape of the figure, which means they are similar.
