Question

A company has a print-ready logo that measures 2.5 centimeters (width) by 10 centimeters (height).

The marketing department wants to reduce the logo by a scale factor of 0.4 to put the logo on a business card. What are the dimensions of the logo on the business card?

Answer 1

When performing dilation, you multiply the dimensions by the scale factor.

So, the new dimensions will be

`2.5\cdot 0.4=1,\quad 10\cdot 0.4=4`
