The diagram represents an enlargement of a rectangle by a scale factor of 4.

A small rectangle has a length of 4 inches and width of 2 inches.

What are the dimensions of the enlarged rectangle?
1 inch by One-half inch
8 inches by 6 inches
16 inches by One-half inch
16 inches by 8 inches

1 answer

16 inches by 8 inches

This is because the dimensions of the original rectangle were each multiplied by 4 to get the dimensions of the enlarged rectangle. So, 4 inches x 4 = 16 inches, and 2 inches x 4 = 8 inches. Therefore, the dimensions of the enlarged rectangle are 16 inches by 8 inches.
