To find the missing side length of the scaled copy of the rectangle, we will use the scale factor provided, which is 2.

In a scaled copy, each side length of the original figure is multiplied by the scale factor.

Given the side lengths of the original rectangle:

  • Width: 2
  • Length: 5

The corresponding side lengths of the scaled copy can be calculated as follows:

  1. For the length of the scaled copy: \[ \text{Scaled Length} = \text{Original Length} \times \text{Scale Factor} = 5 \times 2 = 10 \]

  2. For the width of the scaled copy: \[ \text{Scaled Width} = \text{Original Width} \times \text{Scale Factor} = 2 \times 2 = 4 \]

Since the scaled copy has one dimension (width) already given as 4, and we are looking for the missing length, we can confirm our calculations showed that:

  • The missing side length of the scaled copy is 10.

So, the completed dimensions for the scaled copy are:

  • Width: 4
  • Length: 10
