Question
**Problem 2**

Select **all** of the pairs of polygons in which the image appears to be the result of a dilation of the pre-image. 

(*Select all that apply.*)

**Description of Each Diagram:**

1. **Top Left Diagram:**
   - Shows two polygons with a series of dotted lines connecting corresponding vertices. The inner polygon appears smaller and is located inside the larger polygon. However, the shapes appear different, suggesting a transformation other than dilation.

2. **Top Right Diagram:**
   - Displays two polygons connected by dashed lines extending from a common external point (center of dilation). The smaller polygon is inside the larger one and maintains a similar shape, indicative of dilation.

3. **Bottom Left Diagram:**
   - Features two polygons in which a smaller polygon is nested within a larger one. Both polygons share a similar shape and are connected by lines drawn from each vertex of the inner polygon extending towards corresponding points on the outer polygon, suggesting dilation.

4. **Bottom Right Diagram:**
   - Two polygons are connected by dashed lines emanating from a point outside both polygons. The polygons have a different orientation and do not appear to maintain similarity in shape, indicating a transformation other than dilation.

**Instructions for Solution:**
Carefully analyze each pair of polygons to identify those that maintain proportionality and similarity indicating a dilation transformation. Select those that fulfill these criteria.
