Question

A rectangular field that measures 15 ft by 20 ft must be increased by a scale factor of 1.8. The new dimensions of the field will be ________ ft by 36 ft.

Answer 1

27. 15 x 1.8 = 27 and 1.5 x 20 = 36

Answer 2

The scale factor is what u multiply one shape by to get the other shape

so if ur scale factor is 1.8....
and ur old measurement is 15 ft by 20 ft

then ur new measurement is :
15 * 1.8 = 27
20 * 1.8 = 36
so the new dimensions are : 27 ft by 36 ft <==
