Question

If both the length and the width of a rectangle are tripled then the are of the rectangle is

Answer 1

It is 9 times larger.

example:

If the dimensions of the rectangle are 2cm. by 2cm.,the area of the rectangle would be 4cm squared.

If the dimensions are tripled, the dimensions would be 6cm. by 6cm., then the area for the rectangle is 36.

When you divide 36 by 4, you get 9. So, it increased by 9. Another way to figure this out, is just multiply 3 by 3, which gets you to 9.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If length and breadth are tripled the area becomes 3×length ×3×breadth =9×length ×breadth

=9 times the original area

The area increases 9 times
