Answer:
4
Explanation:
From the question,
Since both rectangle has a scale factor of 2,
L₁/L₂ = 2
Where L₁ and L₂ are the length of the first and second rectangle respectively
L₁ = 2L₂................ Equation 1
Also,
W₁/W₂ = 2............ Equation 2
Where W₁ and W₂ are the Width of the first and second rectangle respectively
W₁ = 2W₂
Area of a rectangle = Length × width
Area of first rectangle = L₁×W₁ = 2L₂×2W₂ = 4L₂W₂
Area of second rectangle = L₂×W₂= L₂W₂
The ratio of area = Area of the first rectangle/Area of the second rectangle = 4L₂W₂/L₂W₂ = 4
