Explanation:

A translation is a rigid transformation that maintains the size and shape of a figure, so it preserves both side lengths and angles. A dilation (with a scale factor not 1) changes the size of the figure but keeps its shape, meaning it preserves angles but changes side lengths.

Answer:

A translation is a transformation that moves points a specified distance along a line parallel to a specified line.
A dilation by a scale factor other than 1 is a transformation that preserves angles but not side lengths
