if you dilate a rectangle with a width of 16 inches using a scale factor of four, what will be the width of the dilated rectangle?
1. 64 inches.
2. 12 inches.
3. 20 inches.
4. 4 inches.
The correct answer is 3. 20 inches.
When you dilate a shape, you multiply its dimensions by the scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is 4.
So, to find the width of the dilated rectangle, you need to multiply the original width of 16 inches by 4.
16 inches * 4 = 64 inches.
Therefore, the width of the dilated rectangle will be 64 inches.
