Which statements are true about dilations? Select all that apply.

A dilation preserves angle measures and scales every side length by the same factor. Therefore, the image is similar to the pre-image, its corresponding angles are congruent, and its corresponding sides are proportional. The sides are not necessarily congruent, and the image is not always congruent to the pre-image unless the scale factor is 1.
