A rectangle with length 14.26 and a width of 9.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To dilate a rectangle, each side length is multiplied by a scale factor. Here the scale factor is 2.3.

This means the length of the new rectangle will be the original 6.2*2.3 = 14.26.

This means the width of the new rectangle will be the original 4*2.3 = 9.2.

Look for a figure with these measurements.
