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