Explanation:

A rectangle has side lengths 6 cm and 9 cm. What would the side lengths of the image be after a dilation of 2.25? Explain your reasoning.

Dilation can also be referred to as scale factor

6cm × 2.25 = 13.5 cm

9 cm × 2.25 = 20.25 cm

The side lengths of the image after the dilation = 13.5 cm and 20.25cm
