If you wanted to reduce a 8 by 6 rectangle by a ratio of 1/4,what would the dimensions of the new rectangle be?
Answer=2 by 1.5
Rectangle= 8 by 6
Reduced Rectangle= 1/4(8) by 1/4(6)
Reduced Rectangle= 2 by 1.5
Answer:
The dimensions of the new rectangle are \(2\ by\ 1.5\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem the ratio of \(\frac{1}{4}\) is equal to the scale factor
To obtain the dimensions of the new rectangle multiply the dimensions of the original rectangle by the scale factor
so
\(8*(1/4)=2\ units\)
\(6*(1/4)=1.5\ units\)
