Question

A rectangle has a length of 11 inches and a width of 8.5 inches. This rectangle is dilated by a scale factor of 2.2 to create a new triangle. Which figure represents the new triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

The dimensions of the new rectangle are $24.2\ in$ by $18.7\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dimensions of the new rectangle will be equal to the dimensions of the original rectangle multiplied by the scale factor

In this problem we have that

the scale factor is equal to $2.2$

so

Find the new length  L2

$L2=11*2.2=24.2\ in$

Find the new width  W2

$W2=8.5*2.2=18.7\ in$

Answer 2

The new rectangle is
L = 11 * 2.2 = 24.2
W = 8.5 * 2.2 = 18.7
