The rule (x, y)→(2x,2y) maps △def to △d′e′f′. which statement correctly describes the relationship between △def and △d′e′f′ ? the triangles are not congruent because △d′e′f′ is a translation of △def , and a translation is not a rigid motion. the triangles are congruent because △d′e′f′ is a rotation of △def , and a rotation is a rigid motion. the triangles are not congruent because △d′e′f′ is a dilation of △def , and a dilation is not a rigid motion. the triangles are congruent because △d′e′f′ is a reflection of △def , and a reflection is a rigid motion.

The triangles are not congruent because △D′E′F′ is a dilation of △DEF .

Step-by-step explanation:

Rigid motions form congruent figures, the common rigid motions are:  

1) translation (moves figure about some distance)

2) reflection (creates mirror image)

3) rotation (rotate figure about some degrees)

Dilation : It does not create congruent images. It creates an image that is the exactly same shape as the original, but have a different size with the help of a scale factor k .

Given : The rule (x,y)→(2x,2y) maps △DEF to △D′E′F′.

Here the coordinates of the image are increased by using a scale factor 2.

So △D′E′F′ must be an enlargement of △DEF.

⇒△D′E′F′ is a dilation of △DEF

It means : The triangles are not congruent because △D′E′F′ is a dilation of △DEF , and a dilation is not a rigid motion.
