if each dimension of a rectangular prism is doubled, how is the surface area affected.
\n" ); document.write( "Sol'n:
\n" ); document.write( "A=x^2, area is directly proportional to the square of the side
\n" ); document.write( "thus,
\n" ); document.write( "(A2/A1)= (2x/x)^2
\n" ); document.write( "A2=4A1
\n" ); document.write( "thus the area two is increases by 4 times or 400% --- answer
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
