NEED HELP ASAP!!! 30 POINTS

1. Your mission is to dilate the rectangle shown below by a scale factor of 8, due to working off a 1/8th model.

(a) Calculate the length of each side of the dilated image you’ve created, and make certain to include your work below. You’ll need this for Part B.
(b) Draw the new image, label it, and put the measurements you calculated in Part A on your new figure with the appropriate units.
Answer:

Answer 1

The dimensions of the rectangle dilated by a scale factor of 8 are 120 cm x 64 cm

Explanation:

To dilate the rectangle, we multiply the value of its measurements by the scale factor, which is 8 in this case.

a) Length of each side

side AB = side CB = 15 cm

side AC = side BD = 8 cm

New measures

side A'B' = side C'B' = 15 * 8 = 120 cm

side A'C' = side B'D' = 8 * 8 = 64 cm

below is the image dilated by a factor of 8
