Answer:

a. 40 inches by 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the measurement of Rectagle A = 8in by 2in. If rectangle B is a scaled copy, this means the length and with of the new triangle by be that of A multiplies by a constant factor.

If the scale is 5:1, this means that the dimension of Rectangle B is as shown;

Length of B = 5(8in) = 40in

Width of new Rectangle B = 2(5) = 10in

Hence the measurement pairs that could be the dimensions of Rectangle B are 40in by 10in

the rest of the measurement are not multiplied by a constant value.
