Answer:
width = 9.36 ft
length = 21.36 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x ft long. Then it follows that the length will be (x+12) ft long.
To calculate the area would then be
x(x+12) = 200
x
x = 9.36 ft or x = -21.36 ft
We take the positive answer. So the dimensions are
width = 9.36 ft
length = 9.36 + 12 = 21.36 ft
Claim: The measures of and
are equal
Answer: True
Explanation: Dilations preserve the shape of an image, so this means the angles are kept the same whether you shrink or enlarge the preimage.

Claim: The coordinates of A and A' are the same
Answer: True
Explanation: The phrasing "dilating about point A" means that point A is the center of the universe, so to speak, in terms of this dilation operation. Point A is the fixed point that does not move while every other point does move. Because the scale factor is 2/3, which is less than 1, this means every other point comes closer to point A. So something like segment AB will get shorter.
