A rectangle has a length of 80 cm and a width of 50 cm. The rectangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3.5 to create a new rectangle
What is the area in square centimeters of the dilated rectangle?

49,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the area of the dilated rectangle, we need the dilated dimensions

We simply multiply the scale factor by the dimensions

we have this as;

3.5 * 50 = 175 cm

and

3.5 * 80 = 280 cm

The area of the dilated rectangle is thus;

280 * 175 = 49,000 cm^2
