Question

If a b c d equals wxyz and the scale factor is 3/2 find the dimensions of rectangle wxyz

Answer 1

4.5m by 3m

Step-by-step explanation:

In Rectangle ABCD

• AD=3m

,

• DC=2m

The side corresponding to AD in Rectangle WXYZ is ZY.

Since the scale factor is 3/2

`\begin{gathered} ZY=(3)/(2)*3 \\ =4.5m \end{gathered}`

The side corresponding to DC in Rectangle WXYZ is YX.

Since the scale factor is 3/2

`\begin{gathered} YX=(3)/(2)*2 \\ =3m \end{gathered}`

The dimensions of rectangle WXYZ are 4.5 m by 3m.
