Answer:
Dimensions of Rectangle B will be 9x inches by 3x inches where x is a scaling factor.
Step-by-step explanation:
Scaled Copy: It means that the rectangle A is related to rectangle B by some scaling (multiplying) factor x.
As we are given Dimensions of rectangle A = 9 inches by 3 inches
Then for any scaling factor x the dimensions of rectangle B will be:
Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)
Dimension of rectangle B = x * (9 inches by 3 inches)
Dimensions of rectangle B = 9x inches by 3x inches
For more understanding let we assume that rectangle B is scaled copy of rectangle A by scaling factor x=3; then we will have the dimensions of rectangle B as under:
For scaling factor (x) = 3;
Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)
Dimensions of rectangle B = 3 (9 inches by 3 inches)
Dimensions of rectangle B = 27 inches by 9 inches
On the other hand for scaling factor x=0.75, the dimensions of rectangle B will become as under;
Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)
Dimensions of rectangle B = 0.75 (9 inches by 3 inches)
Dimensions of rectangle B = 6.75 inches by 2.25 inches
