When applied to a triangle, a dilation with a positive scale factor does not preserve __________. A.angle measure B.orientation C.shape D.length

I believe it is D. If anyone can verify that it'd be appreciated.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. Dilation means to become larger. The size changes. That means the side lengths become larger. Since the triangles are similar, the angle measures remain the same.
