Question 879283: The side length of a triangle are 3 meters, 4 meters, and 5 meters. Suppose the side lengths are multiplied by 4. Describe the change in the area. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area is a function of the square of the linear dimensions.
4x the lenghts --> 16x the area
--------
The change is 16 - 4 = 12 --> 1200%
