Given:

If the dimensions of a rectangle are tripled.

Required:

which of the option best describes the effect on the rectangle?

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of rectangle are


A_1=length(l)* breadth(b)

If the dimensions of rectangle are tripled


\begin{gathered} A_2=3l*3b \\ A_2=9(l* b) \\ A_2=9A_1 \end{gathered}

The original area is multiplied by 9.

Answer:

Hence, option D is correct.
