Respuesta :
It is 8
As a result of multiply 1.6 times 6, we would also need to apply it to the side as well, and therefore multiply it.
ANSWER
[tex]8 {cm}^{2} [/tex]
EXPLANATION
First let us determine the scale factor of the enlargement
[tex]k = \frac{image \: length}{corresponding \: object \: length} [/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{8}{1.6} [/tex]
[tex]k = 5[/tex]
This implies that that, the corresponding length of the smaller rectangle is
[tex]l = \frac{25}{5} = 5cm[/tex]
The area of the smaller rectangle is
[tex] = 5 \times 1.6 = 8 {cm}^{2} [/tex]
