The area of a rectangular floor is 13.5m. One side is 1.5m longer than the other (a) Calculate the dimension of the floor
(b) If it's cost 250.00 naira per square metre to carpet the floor and only 2000.00 naira is available, what area of the floor can be covered with carpet?

the answer is a if my teacher taught me correct

there is no picture in order for this question to be answered

answer: the correct option is d.

explanation:

it is given that the triangle j'k'l' shown on the grid below is a dilation of triangle jkl using the origin as the center of dilation.

from the given graph it is noticed that k(4,8) and k'(2,4). let origin is defined by o and scale factor is defined by k, then

    (1)

distance formula,

put these values in equation (1).

therefore scale factor is     and option d is correct.
