A rectangle on a coordinate plane has a length of 5 units and a width of 3 units. If the rectangle is dilated by a scale factor of 5, what is its new area?(1 point)

Answer 1

The area of the original rectangle is length * width = 5 * 3 = <<5*3=15>>15 square units.
When a figure is dilated by a scale factor of 5, its area is multiplied by the square of the scale factor.
So, the new area of the rectangle after dilation is 15 * 5^2 = 15 * 25 = <<15*25=375>>375 square units. Answer: \boxed{375}.

Answer 2

wrong please try again

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake.

The new length of the rectangle after dilation is 5 * 5 = 25 units.
The new width of the rectangle after dilation is 3 * 5 = 15 units.

Therefore, the new area of the rectangle after dilation is 25 * 15 = 375 square units. Answer: \boxed{375}.
