Algebra.Com's Answer #725872 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have a circular garden with an area of 32 square feet. If you increase the radius by a scale factor of 5, what is the area of the new garden?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I think it may be: \n" ); document.write( "32=r^2(pi)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so with scale factor of 5, it would be: \n" ); document.write( "(5r)^2 \n" ); document.write( "so 25*32 or 800 square feet \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "800 sf is correct. \n" ); document.write( "Area is a function of the square of the radius. \n" ); document.write( "5^2 = 25 \n" ); document.write( "25*32 = 800 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
