Question 948916: If both length and width of a rectangle are tripled, how many times larger is the area of the resulting rectangle?
Answer by Zucchini(70)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is 9 times larger.
example:
If the dimensions of the rectangle are 2cm. by 2cm.,the area of the rectangle would be 4cm squared.
If the dimensions are tripled, the dimensions would be 6cm. by 6cm., then the area for the rectangle is 36.
When you divide 36 by 4, you get 9. So, it increased by 9. Another way to figure this out, is just multiply 3 by 3, which gets you to 9.
