Question

A rectangle has a length of 12 inches and a width of 8 inches Lexi draws a scale copy of the rectangle using a scale factor 2/3 what are the dimensions of the scale copy

Answer 1

The dimensions of the scale copy rectangle are 8 inches by 5.33 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor 2/3 means that each dimension of the scale copy is 2/3 of the original dimension.

Given that the original rectangle has a length of 12 inches and a width of 8 inches, we can find the dimensions of the scale copy by multiplying the original dimensions by 2/3:

Length of scale copy = 12 inches * 2/3

= 8 inches

Width of scale copy = 8 inches * 2/3

= 5.33 inches
