Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{Width: } 24 \ \ \ \text{Length: } 32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we scale an object by a scale factor, the side lengths become the scale factor times bigger than the previous sides. Therefore, with a scale factor of 6, the side lengths would be multiplied by 6.

$4 \cdot 6 = 24\\\\4 \cdot 8 = 32$
