Answer 2

Answer:

10x lineal magnification means that each dimension appears ten times larger, whereas 10x area magnification means the apparent area of the magnified image is ten times the real area.

So 10x lineal is the same as 100x areal, and 10x areal is the same as (Square root of 10)x lineal -- thee and small change
