which statement about dilation is always true dilations preserve angle measures but not side lengths dilations only occur when the scale factor is greater than 1 dilations change the shape of a figure or dilations preserve both side lengths and angle measures

"dilations preserve angle measures but not side lengths" — correct.

Explanation: a dilation multiplies all distances from the center by the same scale factor, so it keeps angles the same (shape is preserved) while scaling side lengths by that factor. (If the scale factor is 1, lengths are unchanged as a special case.)
