A rectangle is shown below. If the scale factor is 2/5 , what is the new base and height of the similar rectangle?

Answer:
The new rectangle has a height of 4 feet and a base of 6 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To shrink or enlarge an object is to make it bigger or smaller using a scale factor. The scale factor is multiplied by each side length to find the new size.
[tex]\frac{2}{5} *10 = \frac{20}{5} = 4 feet[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{5} *15=\frac{30}{5}=6 feet[/tex]
