the original area of a shape is 4 square cm and it is dilated by a scale factor of 5, the area of the new shape would be square cm.

100

Step-by-step explanation:

theres two sets of numbers that multiply to 4

1 times 4 and 2 times 2

to find the area use one of the sets as the length and width of the shape and multiply it by 5

for example 1 times 5 equals 5 and 4 times 5 equals 20

then u multiply 5 times 20 to get the area of the new shape which is 100
