Which composition of transformations will create a pair of similar, not congruent triangles?

Translations, rotations, and reflections preserve side lengths, so they produce congruent figures. A dilation changes a figure’s size while preserving its shape, producing a similar figure that is not congruent when the scale factor is not 1. Therefore, a rotation followed by a dilation can create similar, noncongruent triangles.
