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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of square be x.

So, area = x².

After the side is tripled:-

Side = 3x.

So, area = (3x)²

=9x².

Area of new square/Area of original square=9x²/x²

Area of new square/Area of original square=9

So, area of new square is 9 times the area of original square.

Answer 2

Answer: 9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the square be 's'

:. Area of the original square will be s multiplied by s

i.e s to the power of 2 or s square.........1

Now ,

Let the new side be 3s...

:. Area of new square will be (3s)^2

= 9s square...........2

Dividing 1 and2 we get

9s^2/s^2

s^2 get cancelled

:. We are left with 9.

Hence the new square is nine time screamer than the original square.
