Question

What will the new demensions of the rectangle below be after a dilation within scale factor of 9\4

Answer 1

Answer

The new dimensions of the rectangle after dilation by scale factor of (9/4) include

New length = 72 feet

New width = 18 feet

Explanation

The relationship between new length, original length and scale factor of dilation is given as

New length = (Original length) × (Scale factor)

For this question,

Scale factor = (9/4)

Original length = 32 feet

New length = (Original length) × (Scale factor)

New length = 32 × (9/4) = 72 feet

New width = (Original width) × (Scale factor)

Original width = 8 feet

Scale factor = (9/4)

New width = (Original width) × (Scale factor)

New width = 8 × (9/4) = 18 feet

Hope this Helps!!!
