If you dilate a rectangle with a width of 16 inches using a scale factor of 4, what will be the width of the dilated rectangle

Answer 1

To find the width of the dilated rectangle, you can multiply the original width by the scale factor.

Given:

• Original width = 16 inches
• Scale factor = 4

Dilated width = Original width × Scale factor

Dilated width = 16 inches × 4 = 64 inches

Therefore, the width of the dilated rectangle will be 64 inches.
