Question Analysis  

The main focus is to determine how dilation affects the side-length ratios of a figure, based on the property that dilations preserve proportionality.  

Key Concept Explanation  

Dilation Property: A dilation scales all side lengths by a common scale factor . This preserves the ratio of side lengths, as all sides are multiplied by the same factor.  

Step-by-Step Solution  

1. Let the original side lengths be , ,  (where  is a constant).  

2. After dilation by scale factor , the new side lengths become , ,
