Question 480525: Two squares are beside each other. One square has 6 times the length of the other square, how many times greater is the area of the larger square? How do you know? Draw both squares using a ruler and prove your results.

36 times because multiplying the length of each side of a square
by a number increases the area by the SQUARE of the number each
side was multiplied by, and 6� is 36.

To prove it:

Count the little squares in the big square at the right.
You'll find there are 36 of them and each one is the same
size as the little square at the left.
