The true statement about a dilation with a scale factor of 3 is:
**Each side in the pre-image is multiplied by three to find the corresponding side length in the image.**
In a dilation, the scale factor specifies how much larger (or smaller) the image will be compared to the original figure. For a scale factor greater than 1 (like 3), each dimension is multiplied by that scale factor.
