Question

Enzo is making a scale drawing of the rectangle below. A rectangle has a length of 8 centimeters and width of 5 centimeters. Enzo says that he can draw an enlarged rectangle that is 16 centimeters by 13 centimeters. Which explains whether Enzo is correct? Enzo is correct because he used a factor of 2 to enlarge the rectangle. Enzo is correct because he doubled one dimension and added the two lengths to get the other dimension. Enzo is not correct because the enlarged rectangle should be 16 centimeters by 5 centimeters. Enzo is not correct because he did not multiply the length and width by the same factor.

Answer 1

Answer: D is the answer

Step-by-step explanation: I big brain

Answer 2

Answer:

Enzo is not correct because he did not multiply the length and width by the same factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzo is making a scale drawing of the rectangle below.

A rectangle has a length of 8 centimeters and width of 5 centimeters.

Suppose a new rectangle will have the length of 16 cm.

Since $16\ cm\div 2=8\ cm,$ then the scale factor is 2.

If a scale factor is two, then the width of a new rectangle must be $5\ cm\times 2=10\ cm.$

But Enzo says that he can draw an enlarged rectangle that is 16 centimeters by 13 centimeters. Thus, Enzo is not correct because he did not multiply the length and width by the same factor.
