Question

what will happen to length to the Area of a square when.... (1) its side is doubled?
(2)its side is halved

Answer 1

Answer:(1) If the side is doubled the area of the square will be 4 times the original area.

(2) If the side is halved the area of the square will be 1/4 times the original area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the side be s

Original area = s² = A

(1). Side = 2s

Area1 = (2s)² = 4s² = 4A

(2). Side = 1/2s

Area2 = (1/2s)² = 1/4s² = 1/4 A
