Tim enlarged a picture with a width of 5.5 inches and a length of 8 inches by a scale factor of 3. what are the dimensions of the enlargement?
a. width: 24 in.; length: 16.5 in. b. width: 16.5 in.; length: 24 in. c. width: 14.5 in.; length: 22 in. d. width: 19.5 in.; length: 25 in.

Option b. width = 16.5 inches and length = 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim enlarged a picture wit a width of 5.5 inches and a length of 8 inches.

He enlarged the picture by a scale factor of 3.

We have to find the new dimensions of the picture.

Since, New dimension of the picture = Scale factor × dimensions before enlargement

So new width = 3×5.5 = 16.5 inches

new length = 3×8 = 24 inches

Therefore, option b. is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.
