126:399 is one of the ratios to use and 42:133.
The reactangle has an area of x.
So that means two numbers multiplied to each other equal to x. We can just think of itwo numbers that when multiplied equal to x as a and b.
So that means the side lengths are <u />a and b. And ab = x (will be using this right next).
And it was multiplied by some scale factor that made the new area 9x. So if the scale factor is y, then:




y can not equal to -3, because the length of a side of any polygon can never be negative.
So the dilation is 3.And so if the dimension is 5 by 8.
Then the area is

And so then

And then after the dilation, it would be

We could check it another way too. Since we said the scale factor is 3, then:

So
basically
15 by 24 is the new dimensions :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale is 
That means
1 unit in the drawing represent 40 units in the actual
or
1 inch in the drawing represent 40 inches in the actual
step 1
Find the actual dimensions of the living room
Multiply the dimensions of the living room in the drawing by 40


step 2
Convert inches to feet
Remember that

To convert inches to feet , divide by 12
so


step 3
Find the area in square feet
Multiply the length by the width

Convert to mixed number
