Question

4) The frame is being enlarged to hang on a gallery wall. Using the scale factor of 1in=2.5ft., give the new dimensions of the outside edges of the frame. Explain and show your work!

Answer 1

Outside length is 7 inches

Outside Width is 5 inches.

SOLUTION

Length of outside edge = 7 inches

Scale Factor: 1in = 2.5ft

New length of outside edge = (7 * 2.5)ft

New length = 17.5ft

Width of outside edge = 5 inches

Scale Factor: 1in = 2.5ft

New width of outside edge = (5 * 2.5)ft

New Width = 12.5ft

Therefore, the new dimension of the outside edges of the frame is 17.5ft by 12.5ft
