Question

Your mission is to dilate the rectangle shown below by a scale factor of 2.

Answer 1

The dimensions of the dilated rectangle are 30 cm x 16 cm

Explanation:

we know that

To find the dimensions of the dilated rectangle, multiply the original dimensions by the scale factor

so

Let

A'B'C'D'------> the dilated rectangle

z-------> the scale factor

we have

z=2

A'B'=AB*z=15*2=30 cm

B'D'=BD*z=8*2=16 cm

The dimensions of the dilated rectangle are 30 cm x 16 cm
