jake wants to enlarge his 12 foot by 14 foit garden. if he multiplies the dimensiond by 2, how will the area of the garden be affected?


Sagot :

12x14 is 168    12x2=24 14x2=28    24x28=672
672/168=4    The area is affected by a scale factor of four. Because the label of area is the unit squared, you just square the number that the dimensions are being multiplied by.
