Question

What will be the perimeter and the area of the rectangle below if it is enlarged using a scale factor of 3.5?

Perimeter = 98 cm, area = 588 cm2
Perimeter = 42 cm, area = 109.25 cm2
Perimeter = 42 cm, area = 588 cm2
Perimeter = 98 cm, area = 109.25 cm2

Answer 1

first option

Explanation:

After it's enlarged, the new dimensions will be 6 * 3.5 = 21 and 8 * 3.5 = 28, therefore, the new perimeter will be 2(21 + 28) = 2 * 49 = 98 and the area will be 21 * 28 = 588.
