Scaled Copy

Answer 1

To find the missing side length of the scaled copy of the rectangle, we will use the scale factor provided, which is 2.

In a scaled copy, each side length of the original figure is multiplied by the scale factor.

Given the side lengths of the original rectangle:
- Width: 2
- Length: 5

The corresponding side lengths of the scaled copy can be calculated as follows:

1. For the length of the scaled copy:
\[
\text{Scaled Length} = \text{Original Length} \times \text{Scale Factor} = 5 \times 2 = 10
\]

2. For the width of the scaled copy:
\[
\text{Scaled Width} = \text{Original Width} \times \text{Scale Factor} = 2 \times 2 = 4
\]

Since the scaled copy has one dimension (width) already given as 4, and we are looking for the missing length, we can confirm our calculations showed that:

- The missing side length of the scaled copy is **10**.

So, the completed dimensions for the scaled copy are:
- Width: 4
- Length: 10
