The scale factor of a dilation in which the original polygon and its dilated image are congruent is 1.0. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is in enlargement. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Answer:

If the original polygon and its dilated image are congruent then they have the same number of sides, and all corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent. That is, the corresponding sides and angles have the same measure. This means that the scale factor of a dilation is equal to one.
