Answer:

Dimensions of Rectangle B will be 9x inches by 3x inches where x is a scaling factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scaled Copy: It means that the rectangle A is related to rectangle B by some scaling (multiplying) factor x.

As we are given Dimensions of rectangle A =  9 inches by 3 inches

Then for any scaling factor x the dimensions of rectangle B will be:

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimension of rectangle B = x * (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 9x inches by 3x inches

For more understanding let we assume that rectangle B is scaled copy of rectangle A by scaling factor x=3; then we will have the dimensions of rectangle B as under:

For scaling factor (x) = 3;

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 3 (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 27 inches by 9 inches

On the other hand for scaling factor x=0.75, the dimensions of rectangle B will become as under;

Dimensions of Rectangle B = x * ( Dimensions of rectangle A)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 0.75 (9 inches by 3 inches)

Dimensions of rectangle B = 6.75 inches by 2.25 inches
