Question 764278: Bryan is an art sculptor and is creating an art series made entirely of similar figures. He buys a two-dimensional Sponge Bob Square Pants figure in the shape of a square and decides he wants to make a larger version that is 15 times bigger in width and height.If the area of the figure is 12.5 cm2, what is the area of his sculpture?

Bryan wants to make his original
figure 15 times larger so the original
area is multiplied by 15^2 = 225.
Original area = 12.5cm^2
Sculpture area = 12.5 * 225 = 2812.5cm^2
Hope this helps.
:-)
