To calculate the dimensions of Paulo's scale drawing of the rectangle, we need to multiply the original length and width by the scale factor of 12.

Original Length: 0.5 Scale Factor: 12 Scaled Length = 0.5 * 12 = 6

Original Width: 0.25 Scale Factor: 12 Scaled Width = 0.25 * 12 = 3

So the scaled dimensions for Paulo's drawing are:

  • Length: 6
  • Width: 3

Match accordingly:

Length: 6
Width: 3
