Question

Dilate the rectangle below by a scale factor of 2. If the current side lengths are 15 and 8, what are the side lengths on the new dilated rectangle?
In your answer, give the new side lengths for the dilated image and explain how you calculated them.

Answer 1

The side lengths on the new dilated rectangle will be 30cm and 16cm

How to calculate dilation

Given the following parameters

• Length = 8cm
• Breadth = 15cm

If the length and breadth are dilated by a factor of 2, hence the new dimansion will be:

New length = 2(15) =30cm

New width =2(8) = 16cm

Hence the side lengths on the new dilated rectangle will be 30cm and 16cm

Answer 2

Answer:

AB and CD would be 30

AC and BD would be 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is what you multiply the sides by. Dilate means wider or larger so you multiply each side by the scale factor of 2 to get the higher scaled rectangle.
