Question

If the side of a square is tripled.how many times the perimeter of the first square will that of the new square be?

Answer 1

suppose the side of a square is a
therefore perimeter of square 4a
if the side is tripled the new side is 3a
the new perimeter is 12a

Answer 2

Answer:

3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the square be x

So perimeter = 4 * side

                     = 4x

Since we are given that the side of a square is tripled

So, the side = 3x

So, perimeter = 4*3x =12x

So, new perimeter = 12 x

So, Old perimeter =  4x

New perimeter = 12 x

So, 3* old perimeter = 3*4x =12 x

So,  3 times the the perimeter of the first square will that of the new square .
