Question

What happens to the area of a square of it's side is (a) halved (b) doubled

Answer 1

if the side will be half of the square then the area will be( 1/4 )of the square.


is the site will be double of the square then there will be (4× area of square )of the square.

Answer 2

Hi friend
--------------
Your answer
--------------------
Let the side of the square be a.

Then,
---------

Area of the square = a²

(a) Area when side is halved
------------------------------------------

Half side = a/2

New area = ( a/2 × a/2 ) unit² = a²/4 unit²

So,
-----

Area becomes one - fourth

(b) When side is doubled
----------------------------------------

Doubled side = 2a

New area = (2a×2a) unit² = 4a² unit²

So,
-----

Area becomes four times the original area.
