Answer:

The side length is multipled by 6.

Explanation:

The formula of an area of a square:


A=a^2

a - side length

The area is multipled ny 36:


36A=36a^2\\\\36A=6^2a^2\\\\36A=(6a)^2

The side length is multipled by 6.

You can calculate the area and calculate the new side length:


a=8\ in\\\\A=8^2=64\ in^2\\\\36A=(36)(64)=2304\ in^2


\bold{a}^2=2304\to \bold{a}=√(2304)\\\\\bold{a}=48\ in


\frac{\bold{a}}{a}=(48)/(8)=6\to\bold{a}=6a

Answer:

The side length is multiplied by 6

Explanation:

To find the area, multiply 8 by 8 to get 64. That means the area is 64. If you multiply the area, 64, by 36, you get 2304. Then, you find the square root of 2304, which is 48, and 8 times 6 is 48, so you multiply the side length by 6.
