HELP PLEASE!!!! A window is 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall. A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 4 feet. The width of the rectangle is labeled 8 feet. A manufacturer wants to use a scale factor of 1.5 to enlarge a window. What will the area of the window be after it is enlarged? 32 ft248 ft2 52.25 ft2 72 ft2
Question
Answer:
First, always draw. You learned to draw in kindergarben (Yes I spelled it like that on purpose LOL) for a reason. 1) Draw your rectangle on a piece of paper or paint.
2) Scale factor each side to enlarge which means you're going to multiply.
--- Note if it said 'to reduce' then you would divide.
3) Then find the area by multiplying the two given sides (12 x 6 = 72).
4) Don't forget your unit of measurement - 72ft²
So your answer is D.
