Answer:
Let the length of each side of the original square = s
Area of original square = side*side = s^2
When the side of the square is tripled, then
length of each side of new square = 3s
Area of new square = side * side
= 3s x 3s
= 9s^2
= 9*s^2
= 9 x area of original square ..[: area of original square = s^2]
Hence, the area of the new square will become nine times the area of the original square.
