Answer:
Area of Original rectangle = 18 in²→→Pre image
Area of Rectangle after Dilation =2 in²→→Image
As, Pre image and image will be similar to each other.
And size of rectangle that is image is [tex]\frac{2}{18}=\frac{1}{9}[/tex] of the Original rectangle called Pre image.
So, option A, Divide the area of original rectangle by 9, that is dilation factor of [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] has taken place.
Divide them by nine.
