Question

If the side of a square is tripled how many times will its area be as compared to the area of the original square?

Answer 1

Let the initial length of the side be 1 m. (because it will be easy to compare)
So,
Side = 1 m
Area = 1 m². (because area = length * length = 1*1 = 1)

Now,
Side = 3*s = 3*1 = 3 m
Area = 3*3 = 9 m²

Compare Initial area and final area. :
Final area = 9 times initial area
Therefore,
The answer to this question is 9 times.

Answer 2

Solution: -

Let the side of the squαre be α.

∴ Areα of α squαre = (side)² = α²

New side of the squαre = 3 × α = 3α

∴ New αreα of the squαre = (3α)²

= 9α²

= 9 × αreα of originαl squαre

∴ If the side of α squαre is tripled, its αreα will become 9 times the αreα of the originαl
