Answer 1

Answer:

Each side of the photocopy of the picture is  enlarged by a factor of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A picture is photocopied by using a scale factor of 2.

This actually means that the dimensions of the picture are multiplied by a factor 2.

For example, if the width and the height of a photograph are w and h respectively and when photocopied by using a scale factor of 2, then the final width and height of the copy will become 2w and 2h.

Hence, each side of the photocopy of the picture is enlarged by a factor of 2. (Answer)
