if the scale factor is larger then 1, the new shape is larger
if the scale factor is smaller then 1, the new shape is smaller

The length of the new rectangle compare to the original will be 3 times longer than the original.Option C is correct.

What exactly is dilation?

Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.

Scale factor = 3

The length of the new rectangle is;

L'=Scale factor ×L

L'=3L

The length of the new rectangle compare to the original will be 3 times longer than the original.

Hence,option C is correct.
