Answer:

a) 40 cm by 15 cm

b) enlargement because the scale factor is greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using scale factor, we start with the dimensions of the original rectangle and multiply by the scale factor:

8 cm x 5 = 40 cm

3 cm x 5 = 15 cm

Since the dimensions are larger, the new image is an enlargement.
