Answer:

An isometric transformation is a transformation in which the image is congruent to the pre-image. Both corresponding sides and corresponding angles are equal. A dilation is a transformation in which the corresponding angles of the image are congruent to the pre-image, but the corresponding sides are proportional. This ratio is determined by a scale factor. Dilations create similar images.

An isometry is a transformation in which the original figure and its image are congruent. while a dilation stretches or shrinks the original figure.
