To dilate a shape by a determined scale factor, you have to multiply each side of the said shape by the scale factor.
The figure is a rectangle with length l=3 and width w=2, to enlarge it using factor 5, you have to multiply both lengths by 5:
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=3\cdot5 \\ l=15 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} w=2\cdot5 \\ w=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]
After dilating the rectangle by scale factor 5, the new size will be 10 x 15
