Answer:

conditions for similarity are not violated by the transformation

Explanation:

Dilation changes linear measures proportionally, and has no effect on angles. Rotation changes neither lengths nor angles. Hence the dilated, rotated triangle has the same angles as the original, and has proportional side lengths. Those are the requirements for figures to be similar, so the triangles are similar.
