Question

The rectangle below is enlarged using a scale factor of 1.5. What will be the new length and width of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer: length = 4.5 m, width = 3 m

Explanation:

When a shape is enlarged using a scale factor, you simply multiply each of the sides by the scale factor.

length = 3 * 1.5 = 4.5 m

width = 2 * 1.5 = 3 m
