TaskDilate the extra gum package by a scale factor of 8Will the small pack of gum cover the whole billboard given thedimensions Explain your answer in complete class=

Respuesta :

No, because the length of the billboard is larger than the dilated gum cover length.

If we dilate the gum package by a scale factor of 8:

Original = 3 x 2.5 in

3 x8 = 24 (length)

2.5x8 = 20 (width)

New measures: 24 x 20 ( Lenght by width)

Since the billboard is 48x14, the small pack of gum can't cover the billboard.

24<48

The length of the gum cover can't cover the length of the billboard.
