Sagot :

Answer:

  • B. 250 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the picture:

  • 5 in and 8 in

Area of the picture:

  • 5*8 = 40 in²

Scale factor = 2.5

Enlarged picture's area:

  • 40*2.5*2.5 = 250 in² (scale factor affects both dimensions)

Option B is correct

Answer:

Length of the picture =8 inches

width of the picture =5 inches

area of the picture =40inches^2

scale factor =2.5

new enlarged picture =2.5×2.5×40 =250 inches^2.(both the dimensions)

250 inches^2 is the right answer.
