Question

Please answer the word problem.

Answer 1

22.5cm

Explanation:

We have Aaron's school shoe's a Bulldog with a nose 1.2cm long and a front paw that measures 4.5 cm across.

If they plan paint an enlarged image of the Bulldog with a nose that is 6cm, then the scale factor of the enlargement is

`k = (6)/(1.2) = 5`

Therefore the front can be obtained by multiplying 4.5 by 5.

That is 4.5*5=22.5cm
