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

Answer 1

To dilate a rectangle, you multiply each dimension of the original rectangle by the scale factor.

In this case, the scale factor is 4. So, you need to multiply the original width of 16 in by 4:

Width of the dilated rectangle = 16 in * 4 = 64 in.

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