the transformation is because the peserved
pre - image
image

Explanation:

Step1: Check side - length ratios

The side - lengths of the pre - image are 6, 8, 10 and of the image are 3, 4, 5. The ratio of corresponding sides is $\frac{3}{6}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Step2: Recall transformation types

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape. Since the shape is the same (same angles) and the size has changed proportionally, this is a dilation.

Answer:

The transformation is a dilation because the angle measures are preserved.
