The perimeter of the original triangle is 54 units.
After dilation by a scale factor of 1/3, the new perimeter is calculated by multiplying the original perimeter by the scale factor:
New perimeter = 54 units * 1/3 = 18 units
Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle after dilation is 18 units.
After dilation by a scale factor of 1/3, the new perimeter is calculated by multiplying the original perimeter by the scale factor:
New perimeter = 54 units * 1/3 = 18 units
Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle after dilation is 18 units.
