A book is 6 inches wide and 9 inches tall.

A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 6 inches. The width of the rectangle is labeled 9 inches.

A publisher wants to use a scale factor of 1.5 to enlarge a book. What will the area of the front of the book be after the book is enlarged?

The first step is to enlarge 6 inches. 6 inches enlarged by 1.5 = 9 inches
Then 9 inches. 9 inches enlarged by 1.5 = 13.5 inches


Next, you multiply to find the area. area = 9 × 13 = 121.5 square inches

Hope this helps!! <3
