For example, pick an empty table and a carpenter's squad. Let's imagine the two acute tips of the squad represent some points $A$ (pencil's head) and $B$ (pencil's bottom), and the part of the $90$º angle is the point $C$. Put the squad as you want in the table, let's call it "position $X$". Now, move the squad to a different position, we'll call it "position $Y$". Now, what you've used to move the squad from $X$ to $Y$ is in fact a linear transformation. As you can see, the distance between the points and the scalar product has been kept the same.

This is probably not the best example but it's the one that first came to my mind.
