Two triangles of different sizes are plotted on a coordinate plane. The larger triangle is plotted around the origin and extends into all four quadrants, and the smaller triangle extends between quadrants 1 and 2.

The transformation that preserves both distance and angle measure is called an **isometry**. Among the graphs described, the one demonstrating an isometric transformation is likely the one showing two squares, since squares are congruent shapes and this implies that distances and angles are preserved through the transformation.

In your options, you mentioned:
1. Two squares, one inside the other.
2. Two triangles that cross quadrants.
3. Two triangles of different sizes.

Since the squares are similar and congruent, the graph showing the two squares (the first and the third description you provided are identical) indicates a transformation (such as translation, rotation, or reflection) that preserves distances and angles. Thus, they demonstrate the preservation characteristics of an isometry.

Therefore, the answer is the graph that shows **two squares, a smaller one inside a larger one**.
