Question

what will happen to the area of a square when a) its area is doubled b) its area is halved​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

heya!!

what happens to the area of a square of its side is

a) halved

Answer -

area = side x side

So, if the side is halved, then -

new area

= side / 2 x side / 2

= side x side / 4

= area / 4

Hence, the area becomes the quarter of what it was before.

b) doubled

Area = side × side ( x × x = x² )

So, if the side is doubled, then -

new area

= 2x × 2x = 4x²

So, doubling the side length multiplies the area by 4.
