Question

a rectangle with a length of 12 inches and a width of 4 inches is being dilated by a scale factor of 3 . What is the length of the rectangle after the dilation?

Answer 1

To find the length of the rectangle after dilation, we need to multiply its original length by the scale factor.

Original length = 12 inches
Scale factor = 3

Length after dilation = Original length x Scale factor
Length after dilation = 12 inches x 3
Length after dilation = <<12*3=36>>36 inches

Therefore, the length of the rectangle after the dilation is 36 inches.
