A rectangle is dilated by a scale factor of n=1 Which statement is true regarding the image of the dilation? The image will be smaller than the pre -image because n=1 The image will be congruent to the pre-image because n=1 The image will be larger than the pre-image because n=1 The image will be a triangle because n=1

The correct statement is: "The image will be congruent to the pre-image because \( n=1 \)."<br /><br />When a geometric figure is dilated by a scale factor of \( n = 1 \), it means that the figure is not changed in size. In other words, the image of the dilation is the same as the pre-image. Since the size remains unchanged, the figure is congruent to its original shape. Therefore, the correct statement is that the image will be congruent to the pre-image because \( n=1 \).
