Clarissa made a scale drawing of a rectangle. She used a scale factor of 3 to draw the new rectangle. How does the length of the
new rectangle compare to the original? A.The length of the new rectangle is 1/3 the length of the original.
B.The length of the new rectangle is 1/12 the length of the original.
C.The length of the new rectangle is 3 times the length of the original.
D.The length of the new rectangle is 12 times the length of the original.
WITH EXPLANATION
C. The length of the new rectangle is 3 times the length of the original.
Step-by-step explanation:
This rectangle is basically being dilated. Meaning it is being either reduced of enlarged. (In this case, enlarged) Since the scale factor is 3, you would multiply the length by 3 and that would be your new length.
