"Dilation transformations are the only ones that do not maintain the same side lengths."

Explanation: Translations, rotations, and reflections are rigid motions — they preserve distances and side lengths. Dilations scale figures (change size) and so generally do not preserve side lengths unless the scale factor is 1.
