Answer 1

Answer:

☆NO ,

THE AREA WILL GET FOUR TIMES .

LETS TAKE AN EXAMPLE .

LET THE SIDE OF THE SQUARE BE X UNITS.

♡THEREFORE ,

$area \: = {x}^{2}$

♧WHEN THE SIDE IS DOUBLED.

THEN WE GET ,

♡SIDE = 2X

♡THEREFORE ,

$area \: = (2x) {}^{2} \\ = 4x {}^{2}$

◇SO WE GET THAT THE AREA GETS FOUR TIMES THE AREA .

Answer 2

Answer:

No, The area will not be doubled.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example: Let the side of a square be 5 cm

:. Area of square= side×side

= 5×5

= 25 cm square

If the side get doubled,

It means, side×2= 5×2= 10 cm

Then the area of new side = 10 × 10 = 100 cm square.

Since, when the side gets doubled the area will not doubled.
