Question

Scale a rectangle that has length 9 inches and width 17 inches by the scale factor determine the dimensions of the scaled rectangle. Scale factor 70%

Answer 1

The dimensions of the scaled rectangle are

`6.3\ in` of length by
`11.9\ in` of width

Explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to
`70\%`

Remember that

`70\%=70/100=0.70`

The scale factor is less than 1

so

the dilation is a reduction

To find the dimensions of the scaled rectangle multiply the dimensions of the original rectangle by the scale factor

`9*0.7=6.3\ in`

`17*0.7=11.9\ in`
