Answer:

The perimeter is approximately 18 units.

Explanation:

The dilation causes the rectangle to shrink, so the side lengths shrink as well. The side with 10 units go down to 7.5, and the sides with 2 units go down to 1.5.

These numbers multiplied by 2 and then added together gives an answer of 18 units.
