Question

What happens to the area of a square when:
1) its side is doubled?
2) its side is tripled?
3) its side is halved?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If side is doubled: Let side be 10 cm. Double of 10 is 20 cm. Now, find area of side 10 cm. Thus area is 10 x 10 = 100 cm. Side 20 cm= 20 x 20 = 400 cm.

If side is tripled: Let side be 10 cm. Triple of 10 is 30 cm. Now, find area of side 10 cm. Thus area is 10 x 10 = 100 cm. Side 30 cm= 30 x 30 = 600 cm.

If side is halved: Let side be 10 cm. Half of 10 is 5 cm. Now, find area of side 10 cm. Thus area is 10 x 10 = 100 cm. Side 5 cm= 5 x 5 = 25 cm.
