M
M

Answer 1

Answer:

• Dilation

Note: If the problem has multiple solutions, then also translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at this question in terms of each word's definition:

• Translation is when we slide a figure in any direction.

• Reflection is when we flip a figure over a line.

• Rotation is when we rotate a figure a certain degree around a point.

• Dilation is when we enlarge or reduce a figure.

So, because the figure has gotten bigger, it has been dilated. If the problem has multiple solutions, I would say it has also been translated, because the figure has been moved.
