Answer 1

`New\ Side = 6.9cm`

Explanation:

Given

`Length = 2.3cm`

`Scale\ Factor = 3`

Required

Determine the length of the new side

This is calculated as follows:

`New\ Side = Length * Scale\ Factor`

Substitute values for Length and Scale Factor

`New\ Side = 2.3cm * 3`

`New\ Side = 6.9cm`

Hence, the length of the new side is 6.9cm
