a) 126 cm2 b) 252 cm2, c) 378 cm 2 d) 14 cm2
I took 42 cm x 3 and got 126 cm2 did I work this correctly?

nope. If the side is x3, the area is x3^2 = x9 or 378
whenever the sides are scaled by a factor of n,
area is scaled by n^2
volume is scaled by n^3
since area is figured by multiplying two dimensions, each scaled by the same factor.
