Answer:

D. 16 inches by 8 inches

Explanation:

We have been given an image of two rectangles and we are asked to find the dimensions of the enlarged rectangle.

Since we have been given that the original rectangle is enlarged b a scale factor of 4, so to find the dimensions of enlarged rectangle we will multiply the dimensions of original rectangle by 4.


\text{Length of enlarged rectangle}=4* 4\text{ inch}


\text{Length of enlarged rectangle}=16\text{ inch}


\text{Width of enlarged rectangle}=4* 2\text{ inch}


\text{Width of enlarged rectangle}=8\text{ inch}

Therefore, the dimensions of enlarged rectangle are 16 inches by 8 inches and option D is the correct choice.
