If you dilate a rectangle with a width of 16 inches using a scale factor of 4, what will be the width of the dilated rectangle?(1 point) Responses 12 inches 12 inches 4 inches 4 inches 20 inches 20 inches 64 inches

Answer 1

To find the width of the dilated rectangle, you multiply the original width by the scale factor.

Given:

• Original width = 16 inches
• Scale factor = 4

So, 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.
