We know that the scale factor of a dilation is the ratio of the length of the dilated i.e. transformed figure to the corresponding lengths of the original figure.
Here in the original triangle i.e. ΔABC the length of the side AC is: AC=18 units
and the corresponding side of the dilated triangle i.e. ΔA'B'C' is: A'C'= 9 units
The hundredths place is the second place after the decimal point. In this case, it is .
We can round it by looking at the next place to the right, which is a . is less than , so we can just cut off everything after the hundredths place. This leaves an answer of .
