We have to divide the dimensions by 9 to get a similar rectangle that's area is only 2 in.^2
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
For a game, Tony has a rectangle drawn on a piece of paper that has an area of 18 in.^2
In order to have a similar rectangle that's area is only 2 in.^2
Thus, we need to find the scale factor
Let "c" be the scale factor
Let "x" be the area of original rectangle
Let "y" be the area of dilated rectangle
Therefore,
Therefore, we have to divide the dimensions by 9 to get a similar rectangle that's area is only 2 in.^2
