Question
If the side of a square is tripled, how many times will its area be as compared to the area of the original square?
Advertisements
Solution
Let the length of each side of the original square = s
Area of original square = side × side = s2
When the side of the square is tripled, then length of each side of new square is 3s
Area of new square = side × side
= 3s × 3s
= 9s2
= 9 × s2
= 9 × area of original square ... [∵ area of original square = s2]
Hence, the area of the new square will become nine times the area of the original square.
