Answer:

18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The length of AB is 9 centimeters

- A dilation with a scale factor of 2

The length of the image AB after the dilation is applied:

9 x 2 = 18

dilation is used to make an image or in this case AB, with a scale factor of 2 means that its doubling in size. If the scale factor was 1/2 that it would be decreasing in size since it will be half of the original size
