Question

the dimensions of a rectangle are 25 meters by 20 meters. which of the following could be the dimensions of a scaled copy of the rectangle? select all that apply. 16 meters by 12 meters 30 meters by 25 meters 35 meters by 28 meters 20 meters by 16 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the ratio of the original rectangle

The ratio of the original rectangle with dimensions \(25\) meters by \(20\) meters is \(\frac{25}{20}=\frac{5}{4}\)

Step2: Check each option

• For \(16\) meters by \(12\) meters: \(\frac{16}{12}=\frac{4}{3}

eq\frac{5}{4}\)

• For \(30\) meters by \(25\) meters: \(\frac{30}{25}=\frac{6}{5}

eq\frac{5}{4}\)

• For \(35\) meters by \(28\) meters: \(\frac{35}{28}=\frac{5}{4}\)
• For \(20\) meters by \(16\) meters: \(\frac{20}{16}=\frac{5}{4}\)

Answer:

35 meters by 28 meters, 20 meters by 16 meters
