Answer:

The corresponding side lengths of the figure will be proportional based on the scale factor.

Explanation:

A dilation can either be an enlargement or reduction. If the scale factor is less than one then the figure will be a reduction. If the scale factor is one or larger then the figure will be an enlargement. Since a dilation is basically multiplying the figure will always be proportional to the original figure.
