Which sequence of transformations would result in an image that is similar and non-congruent to the pre-image? Assume that any scale factor for the dilations is not equal to 1. Check all that apply.

A dilation with a scale factor other than 1 changes the figure’s size while preserving its shape, so the result is similar but not congruent. Translations, reflections, and rotations preserve size, so combining any of them with a dilation still gives a similar, non-congruent image. Thus the sequences in choices A, B, C, and E work; choices D and F use only size-preserving transformations.
