A isometry is a transformation where distance (aka size) is preserved. In a dilation, the size is being altered, so no, it is not an isometry.

Does an isometry preserves orientation?

An isometry is a transformation that preserves distances between points, and it can either preserve or reverse orientation. For example, a rotation is an isometry that preserves orientation, while a reflection is an isometry that reverses orientation. Therefore, whether an isometry preserves orientation depends on the specific type of transformation being applied.

What is Isometry?

An isometry is a transformation in which the original figure and its image are congruent. Shape remains constant as size increases.

Is reflecting a congruence transformation?

YES ---- Explanation: An isometry is a distance-preserving mapping. . Geometric figures which can be related by an isometry are called congruent. Reflection preserves distance so it is an isometry. It reverses orientation so it is called an indirect orientationl
