1. A dilation with a scale factor of $$0.5$$ multiplies each side of $$	riangle LMN$$ by $$0.5$$.  
2. As a result, the side lengths of the dilated triangle $$	riangle L'M'N'$$ are half those of $$	riangle LMN$$, so they are not congruent.  
3. However, the angles remain unchanged during a dilation, hence they are congruent, and the triangles are similar.  
4. Additionally, since the side lengths are reduced, $$	riangle L'M'N'$$ is smaller than $$	riangle LMN$$.

Thus, the statement that is not true is:  
**A. The sides of $$	riangle LMN$$ are congruent to the sides of $$	riangle L'M'N'$$.**
The statement that is not true is: **A. The sides of $$	riangle LMN$$ are congruent to the sides of $$	riangle L'M'N'$$.**
