Answer: The scale factor of the dilation
$=\frac32$

Explanation:

$\text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{Side in image}}{\text{Corresponding side in preimage}}$

Given: Rectangle A has a length of 6 and width of 4.

Rectangle A prime has a length of 9 and width of 6.

Scale factor =
$(9)/(6)\ \ \ or \ \ (6)/(4)$

$=\frac32$

Hence, the scale factor of the dilation
$=\frac32$
