If a figure has been dilated by a scale factor of 4, which statement explains how a translation can be used to prove the figures are similar using the AA similarity postulate?

A translation can map one side onto another since dilations preserve side lengths of triangles.

A translation can map one angle onto another since dilations preserve angle measures of triangles.

A translation can map the center of a triangle onto another since dilations preserve the location of the center of triangles.

A translation can map the vertices of one triangle onto another since dilations preserve the size of triangles.
