Answer:

The dimensions of the dilated image are 60 cm by 32 cm

Explanation:

we know that

The scale factor is equal to 4

The scale factor is > 1 -----> therefore the dilation is an enlargement

To find the dimensions of the dilated image, multiply the original dimensions by the scale factor

New Length=(15)(4)=60 cm

New Width=(8)(4)=32 cm

The dimensions of the dilated image are 60 cm by 32 cm
