A rectangle measures 4 inches by 10 inches. It is dilated using a scale factor of 2.5. What is the area in square inches of the dilated rectangle?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses
To find the area of the dilated rectangle, we need to multiply the length and width of the original rectangle by the square of the scale factor.
The length of the dilated rectangle is 4 inches * 2.5 = 10 inches.
The width of the dilated rectangle is 10 inches * 2.5 = 25 inches.
Therefore, the area of the dilated rectangle is 10 inches * 25 inches = 250 square inches.
