How do you find the long side of a rectangle if you have the scale factor and short side?

You can set up a proportion and solve for the unknown side. Say that your rectangle has a short side that measures 4. The long side, unknown at this time, is x. The scale factor of the long side to the short side is 2/1 or 2:1. That would mean that the ratio of the actual side measurements, long side to short side, would be x/4. Set up a proportion where that ratio and the scale factor are equal to each other. Cross multiply and solve for x.
x/4 = 2/1
x = 8
The long side of the rectangle would measure 8.

What happens to the area of a figure when the scale of the figure changes?
To find the new area, you have to multiply the original area by the square of the scale change. For example, you have a rectangle with adjacent sides of 3 and 4. Another rectangle has the same dimensions but with triple the scale. The original rectangle's area is 12. Multiply that by 9, which is the square of the new scale, and you get an area of 108. That matches up with the area of the new rectangle, which has adjacent sides of 12 and 9.
