Scaling

Scaling is used to increase or decrease the size of an object or figure by a factor k.

Given a length of 40.5 cm and width of 34.5 cm.

A smaller rectangle is created by reducing the rectangle by a scale factor of 13 hence:

New length = 40.5/13 = 3.1 cm

New width = 34.5/13 = 2.6 cm

The measure of the shorter sides is 3.1 cm and 2.6 cm.
