Answer:

Scale factor is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has an area of 16ft²

That is

            Length₁ x Breadth₁ =  16 ft²

Every dimension is multiplied by a scale factor, let the scale factor be s.

New dimensions are

                  Length₂ = s x Length₁

                  Breadth₂ = s x Breadth₁

New area is given by

                 Area = Length₂ x Breadth₂ = s x Length₁ x s x Breadth₁

                 Area = s² x Length₁ x Breadth₁

                 64 = s² x 16

                  s² = 4

                  s = 2

So scale factor is 2

Drag each tile to the correct box. not all tiles will be used.Chris plans to mulch the border surrounding a rectangular garden i
amm1812

Length (L): 2w + 3

width (w): w

border (b): \frac{1}{4} w

Area (A) = (L + b) * (w + b)   <em>NOTE: This is assuming the width also has a border</em>

              = (2w + 3 + \frac{1}{4} w) * (w + \frac{1}{4} w)

              = (2\frac{1}{4} w + 3)(1\frac{1}{4} w)

              = (\frac{9}{4} w + 3)(\frac{5}{4} w)

              = \frac{45}{16} w^2 + \frac{15}{4}w

Marie currently has a collection of 58 stamps if she buys s stamps each week for w Weeks which expression represents the total n
laila [671]

58 stamps is the number she gets each week. So if she went for one week, 58*1=58. 58*2=116 and so on. Because we don't know the exact number of weeks, we say 58w or 58*w because you multiply however many number of weeks she collects.
