Question

Area of a square is doubled if the side of the square is doubled.

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is False.

Explanation:

Let the side of a given square be a.

∴ Area of the square = a²

The side of a new square = 2a

∴ Area of the new square = (2a)² = 4a² which concludes that the area of the new square is four times the area of the given square.
