If the rectangle is reduced by a scale factor of 0.75, what are the new rectangle’s side lengths. The rectangle is 4.5 by 3
just multiply all lengths by 0.75
better review just what a scale factor is...
To find the new side lengths of the rectangle after it has been reduced by a scale factor of 0.75, you need to multiply each original side length by the scale factor.
The original side lengths are given as 4.5 and 3. Now, let's calculate the new side lengths:
For the length: Multiply the original length (4.5) by the scale factor (0.75):
New length = 4.5 * 0.75 = 3.375
For the width: Multiply the original width (3) by the scale factor (0.75):
New width = 3 * 0.75 = 2.25
Therefore, the new rectangle's side lengths are 3.375 by 2.25.
