Drawing Scaled Rectangles

Sep 30, 2026

Practice sheet for scaling rectangles: students draw rectangles to the given scale and compute the new dimensions for each item. Problems specify original side lengths (e.g., 4.9 × 2.6, 5 × 3.1) and ask for the scaled widths and heights after multiplying the rectangle’s size by a factor such as 9, 16, 4, or 9. An answer key provides the resulting dimensions for each numbered question, supporting checking and review.

FAQs

What do I need to do for each problem on the sheet?

Draw a rectangle using the given scale and determine the new dimensions (new width and height) based on the original side lengths and the stated scale factor.

How are the scale factors used in the questions?

The rectangle is enlarged by multiplying its original dimensions by the indicated factor (e.g., 9 times or 16 times), producing the new side lengths you record as the answer.

Where can I check my answers?

The document includes an “Answer Key” section listing the computed new dimensions for each numbered item.
