1 answer

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

The original width is 16 inches, and the scale factor is 4.

So, the calculation is:

\[ 16 \text{ inches} \times 4 = 64 \text{ inches} \]

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