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
The calculation is: \[ \text{Dilated Width} = \text{Original Width} \times \text{Scale Factor} \] \[ \text{Dilated Width} = 16 , \text{inches} \times 4 = 64 , \text{inches} \]
Therefore, the width of the dilated rectangle is 64 inches.
