A dilation is not a basic rigid motion because it alters the size of a figure while maintaining its shape, rather than preserving distances between points. Rigid motions, such as translations, rotations, and reflections, only change the position or orientation of a figure without affecting its dimensions. In contrast, dilations involve scaling, which can either enlarge or reduce a figure, thus not satisfying the criteria of preserving lengths and angles.

Geometric dilation (size change, typically expansion) does not change the shape of a figure, or its center location, only the size.

Proving that two figures are congruent using rigid motions involves demonstrating that one figure can be transformed into the other through a series of translations, rotations, and reflections without changing the size or shape of the original figure. This proof relies on the principle that rigid motions preserve distance and angle measures. By showing that the corresponding parts of the two figures align perfectly after applying these transformations, it can be concluded that the figures are congruent.
Reflections, translations, and rotations are considered rigid motions because they preserve the size and shape of the original figure. These transformations do not distort the object in any way, maintaining the distances between points and angles within the figure. As a result, the object's properties such as perimeter, area, and angles remain unchanged after undergoing these transformations.
Dilation, shear, and rotation are not rigid motion transformations. Dilation involves changing the size of an object, shear involves stretching or skewing it, and rotation involves rotating it around a fixed point. Unlike rigid motions, these transformations may alter the shape or orientation of an object.
