Question

If a polygon has an area of 25cm and is dilated by a factor of 3, what will be the area of the dilated polygon?

Answer 1

225 cm²

Explanation:

dilatation factor = 3 , then

area factor = 3² = 9

the area of the dilated polygon is then 9 times the area of the original so

area of dilated polygon = 9 × 25 = 225 cm²
