To find the dimensions and area of the enlarged photo, we can use the given scale factor.
-
Calculate the dimensions of the enlarged photo:
-
Length: \[ \text{Length of enlarged photo} = \text{Original length} \times \text{Scale factor} = 5 \text{ inches} \times 3 = 15 \text{ inches} \]
-
Width: \[ \text{Width of enlarged photo} = \text{Original width} \times \text{Scale factor} = 8 \text{ inches} \times 3 = 24 \text{ inches} \]
-
-
Calculate the area of the enlarged photo:
- Area: \[ \text{Area of enlarged photo} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 15 \text{ inches} \times 24 \text{ inches} = 360 \text{ square inches} \]
Final Results:
- Length of the enlarged photo = 15 inches
- Width of the enlarged photo = 24 inches
- Area of the enlarged photo = 360 square inches
