Rowen uses a scale factor of 1.5 to make a scale drawing of a square. How does the area of the scale drawing compare to that of the original square? Write your answer in decimal form. (1 point)

Answer 1

Since the scale factor is 1.5, the area of the scale drawing will be 1.5^2 = 2.25 times larger than the original square.

Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 2.25 times the area of the original square, which is equivalent to 2.25 in decimal form.
