Answer:

Statement is false.

Explanation:

Dilating of a triangle produces another triangle having properties as

(1) Corresponding angles of parent and dilated triangle will be same

(2) Corresponding sides of both the triangles will be in the same ratio. They can not measure equal.

Therefore, given statement is false.
