Question

if the perimeter of a square is doubled, find the ratio of the original area to the new area​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is doubled, the area is doubled. The ratio of original to new is 1/2

Answer 2

If the length of a side of a square is x then the area = x2

If we double the length then a side is 2x and the area is (2x)(2x) = 4x2

The ratio is 1:4 and the area is quadrupled, not doubled...
