Question

If the rectangle below were to be enlarged by a scale factor of 5, what would the new dimensions be?

Answer 1

Explanation:

2*5 = 10

3*5 = 15

The thing you should check is to see if the ratio of the length and width remains the same.

original length 2

============ = ====

original width 3

New length 10

========= = ====

New width 15

But 10 / 15 is the same as 2/3 so the original ratio of 2/3 is not destroyed.
