A window is 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall.
A rectangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled 4 feet. The width of the rectangle is labeled 8 feet.
A manufacturer wants to use a scale factor of 1.5 to enlarge a window. What will the area of the window be after it is enlarged 32 ft2
48 ft2
52.25 ft2
72 ft2
To find the area of the enlarged window, we need to multiply the length and width of the original window by the scale factor of 1.5.
Length of enlarged window = 4 feet * 1.5 = 6 feet
Width of enlarged window = 8 feet * 1.5 = 12 feet
Area of enlarged window = length * width
= 6 feet * 12 feet
= 72 ft^2
Therefore, the area of the window after it is enlarged will be 72 ft^2. Answer: 72 ft2
