Answer: Length of new rectangle is 3 times bigger compare to the original.


Explanation:

Let x be length of the original rectangle

If Clarissa used a scale factor of 3 to draw anew rectangle then

Length of new rectangle=3 times the length of original rectangle

Therefore, 3 times the length of original rectangle= 3x

Thus, length of new rectangle is 3 times bigger than the length of original rectangle.
