Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!

Sara created the poster shown below:

A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled as length equal to 28 cm, and the width is labeled as width equal to 32 cm.

What would be the dimensions of the poster at 1/4 its current size?

Length = 7 cm, width = 8 cm
Length = 24 cm, width = 28 cm
Length = 32 cm, width = 36 cm
Length = 112 cm, width = 128 cm

Answer 1

Let

L------------------- > the length of the rectangle actual size= 28 cm
W------------------ > the width of the rectangle actual size= 32 cm

Lr-----------> the length of the rectangle of the poster at 1/4 its current size
Wr-----------> the width of the rectangle of the poster at 1/4 its current size

we have that

Lr=L*(1/4)-----------------> 28*(1/4)=7 cms
Wr=W*(1/4)-----------------> 32*(1/4)=8 cms

the answer is
the dimensions of the poster at 1/4 its current size are
Length = 7 cm, width = 8 cm
