We can determine the area of the enlarged picture as follows:
*First, we determine the new dimensions, that is:
[tex]5\cdot2.5\text{ = 12.5}[/tex][tex]8\cdot2.5=20[/tex]*Secondly, we find the area using the formula of area for a rectangle, that is:
[tex]A=20\cdot12.5\Rightarrow A=250[/tex]From this, we have that the area of the picture after being enlarged equals 250 in^2.
