Question

Heather and Cindy are playing “Guess My Shape.”

Heather has to describe a shape to Cindy accurately enough so that Cindy can draw it without ever seeing the shape.

Heather gives Cindy these clues:

Clue #1: The shape is similar to a rectangle with a base of 7cm and a height of 4cm.

Clue #2: The shape is five times larger than the shape it is similar to.
What are the dimensions of the new shape?

Answer 1

The new shape has a base of 35 cm and a height of 20 cm.

Explanation:

Since the shape is five times larger than the shape it is similar to, we can simply multiply everything by 5.

7×5=35

4x5=20

The new shape has a base of 35 cm and a height of 20 cm.

Hope this helps (and is correct)! Good luck on your homework!
