Answer 1

Answer: Perimeter and Area of the final poster will be 168 cm and 1728 cm² respectively.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Each student is to design a school poster.

Dimensions of rectangle are :

`12\ cm\ by\ 16\ cm`

It is then dilated by a scale factor of 3.

So, Perimeter of the final poster becomes

`3* 2* (L+B)\\\\=6(12+16)\\\\=6* 28\\\\=168\ cm`

Similarly, Area of the final poster becomes

`3^2* L* B\\\\=9* 12* 16\\\\=1728\ cm^2`

Hence, Perimeter and Area of the final poster will be 168 cm and 1728 cm² respectively.
