Question

Figure ABCD has an area of 4 units^2. It is thendilated using a scale factor of 4. What is theperimeter of the new figure?A.) 8B.) 32C.) 64

Answer 1

We have the following:

We can see that the side of the square ABCD is 2, but if we apply the scale factor it will be:

`l=2\cdot4=8`

We know that the perimeter is the sum of all the sides, therefore it would be

`\begin{gathered} p=8+8+8+8 \\ p=32 \end{gathered}`

Which means that the correct option is B.) 32
