Question

How do you find the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10? The surface area is 1251 cm squared. Pls answer as soon as possible!!

Answer 1

125,100 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve ; kindly note that:

Ratio of surface areas = square of scaled factor

Scaled up factor = 10

Let ;

Surface area of scaled up box = x

Surface area of actual box = y

Mathematically ;

10² = x / 1251

100 = x / 1251

x = 100 * 1251

x = 125100

x = 125,100 in²
