Answer:
250 in2
Step-by-step explanation:
L = 5 W = 8 (or the other way it wouldn't matter because you'll still get the same answer)
original with L=5 and W=8
p = 26 but we are focusing on the "area" (8 x 5) which is 40.
but with the scale factor of "2.5" to get 250 in2 you need to first, multiply "2.5" to both 8 and 5 your new L=12.5 and W=20. then to get your area of the enlarged picture multiply (12.5 x 20) and tah-dah! 250
hope this helps you!?
