1. Rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle EFGH (not pictured). Rectangle EFGH can be
generated using a scale factor of 3. Will rectangle EFGH be larger or smaller than
rectangle ABCD? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer: Yes EFGH will be bigger

Explanation:

since we are scaling it:

4 * 1.5 = 6

or

`4 * (3)/(2) = (4*3)/(2) = (12)/(2) = 6`
