So this question we're given the original rectangle in the problem has length 60 centimeters and a height of 40.
00:20
And we're trying to get a new rectangle.
00:24
So the only thing they give us in the problem is that the new rectangle is smaller, right? it says the skies is reduced, a rectangle is reduced, so it's smaller.
00:35
And the scale factor is one -fourth.
00:40
And so we're trying to find lengthen the height or lengthen the width of the new rectangle.
00:45
Well, what does the scale factor tell us? well, the scale factor tells us the ratio between the sides of the new rectangle in relation to the sides of the old rectangle.
00:55
So let's like, say, length of the new rectangle, length of the new rectangle over the length of the original is equal to one -fourth.
01:10
That's, sorry, length of the original is equal to one fourth...
