All transformations change the size and shape of figures.
All transformations change the size and shape of figures.

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

All transformations move figures across the coordinate plane.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

Dilation transformations change the size of a figure, either enlarging or reducing it while maintaining the shape and proportion of the original figure. In contrast, translations, rotations, and reflections preserve both the size and shape of the figures, maintaining the same side lengths.
