Question

Jamal is making two paintings using canvases that are similar rectangles. The length of the smaller canvas is 3 ft and the width is 5 ft.

What is the length of the larger canvas if the width is 10 ft?

Answer 1

Length of the larger canvas = 6 ft

The scale factor is 2.

5 x 2 = 10 which gave us the width of the larger canvas

So also do 3 x 2 = 6 which is the length of the larger canvas
