You are going to build a new garage similar to the rectangular one you currently have. The current dimensions are 16 feet wide by 24 feet long. You need to stake and rope off where the concrete will be poured. If the new garage is going to have a width of 24 feet, how much rope are you going to need?
-60 feet
-120 feet
-112 feet
-56 feet
Remember that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional , and this ratio is called the scale factor
In this problem
the scale factor is
24/16=1.5
so
the length is equal to
