Question

A rectangle that is 2 inches by 3 inches has been scaled by a factor of 7. What are the side lengths of the scaled copy

Answer 1

14 inches by 21 inches.

Explanation:

A rectangle has a length of 3 inches and a width of 2 inches.

It is enlarged by a scale factor of 7.

New length becomes 3 inches × 7 = 21 inches

New width becomes 2 inches × 7 = 14 inches

Answer 2

the length of scaled copy is 14 inches

width of scaled copy is 21 inches

Explanation:

A rectangle that is 2 inches by 3 inches has been scaled by a factor of 7.

Length of rectangle is 2 inches

width of the rectangle is 3 inches

Scale factor is 7

To get the length and width of scaled copy, we multiply by 7

2 times 7 is 14 inches

3 times 7 is 21 inches

So the length of scaled copy is 14 inches

width of scaled copy is 21 inches
