What is The new figure that is produced in a transformation?

It is the image from the transformation.


Which sequence of tranformations may result in an image that is similar but not congruent to the original figure?

The transformation process is an 'enlargement'


Which transformation does not always result in an image that is congruent to the original figure?

A dilation (or scaling) is a transformation that does not always result in an image that is congruent to the original figure. While translations, rotations, and reflections always produce congruent figures, dilations change the size of the figure, which means the image may be similar to, but not congruent with, the original figure.

A new figure made after a transformation is called?

In mathematical terms, the figure that is made after a transformation is what is known as an image. Prior to the chance, the figure is called the pre-image. Changing into an image can take place after four types of mathematical transformations: translation, reflection, rotation and dilation.
