Question

A rectangle has a length of 8 and width of 12. A scale copy was made with a width of 24. What is the area of the new rectangle?

Answer 1

The area of the new rectangle is 384 square units.

Explanation:

For the original rectangle, the length is 8, and the width is 12. For the scale copy, the width is 24 (12 × 2), so the length will be 16 (8 × 2). Multiplying 24 by 16, we obtain 384 as the area of the new rectangle.

Answer 2

Length X Width = area
