An enlargement. In general, a non-linear transformation.
The transformation process is an 'enlargement'
An enlargement transformation will give the result of a similar shape.
An enlargement transformation
If you have 2 EQUILATERAL triangles, and you stack them on their respective hypotenuses, the result: SQUARE. If you have 2 ISOSCELES triangles, and you stack them on their respective hypotenuses, the result: RECTANGLE. If you have 2 OBTUSE triangles, and you stack them on their respective hypotenuses, the result: PARALLELOGRAM.
The answer to a division problem in mathematics is quotient. VBS
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.

You need calculate the area of only one face and multiply the result by the number of congruent faces.
The object and its image are congruent.
You do one of two things. Take the original price, multiply it by .15, and then subtract the result from the original. Or you can multiply the original by .85 (1.00-.15) and get the reduced price immediately.
You figure what two tenths of one percent of an amount is by multiplying that original amount by 0.002 The result is two tenths of a percent of that amount.

Translation would result in a congruent heptagon at a different location.
When multiplying numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the original number with the fewest significant figures. In this case, 400 has one significant figure, and 185 has three significant figures. Therefore, the result of multiplying 400 by 185 will have one significant figure. The answer would be 70,000.
Scaling changes the size of a figure. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure is enlarged; if the scale factor is less than 1, the figure is reduced. I the scale factor is equal to 1, the figure's size is unchanged. If there is a centre of enlargement, the new figure can be drawn exactly by multiplying the distance of every point from the centre of enlargement, multiplying this by the scale factor and drawing the new point at this distance from the centre of enlargement. (For a polygonal figure, only the vertices need be measured and the lines between the vertices of the original figure drawn in). With a centre of enlargement, the scale factor can be negative. In this case, the distance to the new points is measured on the opposite side of the centre to the original points, so that it is a straight line form the original point, through the centre to the new point.
Only if the vertex angle being bisected is between the sides of equal length will the result be two congruent triangles.
