A photographer is planning to enlarge a photograph by a scale factor of 1:5 . The original photograph has an area of 154 square inches.
Solution:
The photograph is being enlarged by a factor 5.
So, each dimension of the photograph is enlarged by 5
So, area is enlarged by [tex] 5^{2} [/tex]
Or, Area is enlarged by a factor=5*5=25
So, the Area of enlarged photograph=[tex] 5^{2} [/tex] *Area of original photograph
Area of enlarged photograph=25*Area of original photograph
Area of enlarged photograph=25*154
On multiplying 25 by 154 we get 3850
Area of enlarged photograph=3850[tex] inches^{2} [/tex]
Answer:
Area of new photograph=3850[tex] in^{2} [/tex]
