Answer:

The new dimensions of the rectangle, after a dilation will be 72 ft by 18 ft

Explanation:

we know that

The new dimensions of the rectangle, after a dilation will be equal to the original dimensions multiplied by the scale factor

we have

The scale factor is 9/4

Original length =32 ft

Original width=8 ft

Find the new dimensions after dilation

New length=(9/4)32=72 ft

New width=(9/4)8=18 ft

therefore

The new dimensions of the rectangle, after a dilation will be 72 ft by 18 ft
