Because the image is not the same size as the preimage. To do a dilation all you do is make the image smaller or larger than it was before.

Which transformation is not an isometry?

Dilation.


Which transformation is not always an isometry?

Dilation


What is an isometry?

A isometry is a transformation where distance (aka size) is preserved. In a dilation, the size is being altered, so no, it is not an isometry.


What transformation is not an isometry?

Dilation - the image created is not congruent to the pre-image


Is a dilation an isometry?

A dilation is never an isometry.I know this because I got the answer wrong on a quiz and I my teacher told me the correct choice.


Is a rotation an isometry?

Yes, a rotation is an isometry.


Is a translation an Isometry?

Yes, translation is part of isometry.


WHICH OF THE FOLLWING IS NOT A CONGRUENCE TRANSFORMATION?

A congruence transformation, or isometry, is a transformation that preserves distances and angles, such as translations, rotations, and reflections. Among common transformations, dilation (scaling) is not a congruence transformation because it alters the size of the figure, thus changing the distances between points. Therefore, dilation is the correct answer to your question.


Does an isometry preserves orientation?

An isometry is a transformation that preserves distances between points, and it can either preserve or reverse orientation. For example, a rotation is an isometry that preserves orientation, while a reflection is an isometry that reverses orientation. Therefore, whether an isometry preserves orientation depends on the specific type of transformation being applied.


A preimage and an image are congruent in an isometry?

Yes. Being congruent is part of the definition of an isometry.


What is Isometry?

An isometry is a transformation in which the original figure and its image are congruent. Shape remains constant as size increases.


Explain why a glide reflection is an isometry?

Because the glide reflection is a combination of two isometries, it is also an isometry.
