In Euclidean space, such a dilation is a similarity of the space. Dilations change the size but not the shape of an object or figure. Wikipedia

Answer:

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size but not the shape of a figure. Therefore, the image created by the dilation is not congruent to the pre-image, the original figure; it is similar. ... The scale factor of a dilation is the ratio of a length in the image to the corresponding length in the pre-image.
