if you dilate a rectangle with a width of 16 inches using a scale factor of 4, what will be the width of the dilated rectangle?

a 12 inches
b 20 inches
c 4 inches
d 64 inches

To dilate a shape, you multiply the dimensions of the original shape by the scale factor. In this case, the width of the original rectangle is 16 inches and the scale factor is 4.

So, the width of the dilated rectangle would be 16 inches x 4 = 64 inches.

Therefore, the correct answer is d) 64 inches.
