Question
Rectangle with length =11cm and width =4cm when both dimensions are trippled
Answers
Steve
well, just triple each dimension
(11*3)(4*3) = (11*4)*3^2
since area involves two dimensions, it scales as the square of the linear dimension
Perimeter, being just length, just uses the scale factor
2(3*11+3*4) = 3*2(11+4)
(11*3)(4*3) = (11*4)*3^2
