Answer:15 inches by 27 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has a width of 5 inches and a length of 9 inches. This means that the original length of the rectangle is 9 inches. The original width of the rectangle is 5 inches.

The rectangle was dlated by

a scale factor of 3. It means that the dimensions of the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle were increased 3 times.

The new length of the rectangle would be 3 * original length. It becomes 3*9 = 27 inches

The new width of the rectangle would be 3 * original width. It becomes 3*5 = 15 inches
