Congruence and Transformations

Question 6 • SRC 2022 M/J Grade 8 Pre-Algebra Q1

Which sequence of transformations means the image would be congruent to the original figure instead of similar to it?

Answer
A
dilation and rotation
B
translation and rotation
C
translation and dilation
D
reflection and dilation

Explanation

Congruent figures have the same shape and size. Translations and rotations move or turn a figure without changing its size, so together they preserve congruence. A dilation can change the figure’s size, which generally produces a similar figure rather than a congruent one.
