If a figure has been dilated by a scale factor of 4, which statement explains how a translation can be used to prove the figures are similar using the AA similarity postulate? A translation can map one side onto another since dilations preserve side lengths of triangles.
A translation can map one angle onto another since dilations preserve angle measures of triangles.
A translation can map the center of a triangle onto another since dilations preserve the location of the center of triangles.
A translation can map the vertices of one triangle onto another since dilations preserve the size of triangles.

  A translation can map one angle onto another since dilations preserve angle measures of triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilations do not preserve side lengths (size). They will only preserve the center of a triangle if the triangle center is the center of dilation. (The center of dilation is the only invariant point.)

However, dilations do preserve angles, so a translation can map one angle to another.

I believe the answer is B. A translation can map one angle onto another since dilations preserve angle measures of triangles.
