Question

a rectangle has a width of 4 cm and a length of 8cm is scaled by a factor of 6.what are the side lengths of the scaled copy

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\text{Width: } 24 \ \ \ \text{Length: } 32}`

Explanation:

When we scale an object by a scale factor, the side lengths become the scale factor times bigger than the previous sides. Therefore, with a scale factor of 6, the side lengths would be multiplied by 6.

`4 \cdot 6 = 24\\\\4 \cdot 8 = 32`

Hope this helped!
