An overhead projector enlarges the image on its glass by a scale factor of 4. A rectangle that is 3 inches wide and 7 inches long on the glass is projected on a screen. What is the length of the rectangle on the screen?

OpenStudy (nirmalnema):

its sides will be increased four times so its dimensions are.. 12in by 28in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is 336

OpenStudy (nirmalnema):

this is the area

OpenStudy (hesan):

yes exactly 336 is the new area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is the answer

OpenStudy (vivek3461):

No enlarging the image sometimes mean enlarging the area also. So to enlarge the area by 4 times your sides have to be doubled

OpenStudy (nirmalnema):

you asked about length it may be 12 or 28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are confusing me what is the answer

OpenStudy (vivek3461):

Ans is (2x3) x (2x7) = 84

OpenStudy (vivek3461):

Sorry length is 2x7 =14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 84 or 14

OpenStudy (vivek3461):

New length is 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 14 am i correct
