Question

74. The area of a square is 36 metre square. If each side is halved what will be its area​

Answer 1

Answer:

heya!!

what happens to the area of a square of its side is

a) halved

Answer -

area = side x side

So, if the side is halved, then -

new area

= side / 2 x side / 2

= side x side / 4

= area / 4

Hence, the area becomes the quarter of what it was before.

b) doubled

Area = side × side ( x × x = x² )

So, if the side is doubled, then -

new area

= 2x × 2x = 4x²

So, doubling the side length multiplies the area by 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

Area = a² = 36 m²

a = √36

a = 6 m

The side is 6 m

Now the side is halved,

= 6/2 = 3 m

Area = a² = 3² = 9 m²

The area is 9 m² when the side is halved
