Question

Rectangle B is shown below. Nadia drew a scaled version of Rectangle B using a scale factor of = and labeled

it Rectangle C.
What is the area of Rectangle C?​

Answer 1

The area of rectangle C is 2

Explanation:

Using a scale factor of
`(1)/(5)` yields the side lengths of 1 and 2

`(1)(2)=2`

Answer 2

2 square units

Explanation:

hello

The scale factor or linear scale factor is the ratio between the length of the same side in two similar figures.

in the graph we have a rectangle with width 5 units and long 10 units, and we know the scale factor is 1/5

`S_(f)=(width(C))/(width(B))\\ \\Width(B)*S_(f) =width(C)=5 units *(1)/(5) \\\\Width(C) =(5)/(5) units =1 unit`

`S_(f) =(length (C))/(length(B)) \\\\\\length(C)=length(B)*S_(f)\\length(C)=(10*(1)/(5))`

`Length(C) =2 units\\\\ the area is A=w*l\\\\A=1 unit * 2 units\\\\\\`

A=2 square units

I hope it helps
