For a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1, the relationship between the angles and side lengths of the preimage and the image is as follows:
- The angles remain congruent (they do not change during dilation).
- The side lengths of the image are larger than the corresponding side lengths of the preimage since the scale factor is greater than 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**D. Angles are congruent; side lengths are larger.**
- The angles remain congruent (they do not change during dilation).
- The side lengths of the image are larger than the corresponding side lengths of the preimage since the scale factor is greater than 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**D. Angles are congruent; side lengths are larger.**
