Question

What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10?

list dimensions

Length: 9.5 inch which is 24 cm

Width: 2.8 inch which is 6 cm

Height: 13 inch which is 33 cm

Answer 1

A for a box, the surface area is given by:
6l², where l is the length of one side.
If the side is increased 10 times,
6(10l)²
=100 x6l²
The surface area increases 100 times. Thus, the new surface area is
272 * 100
= 27,200 sq in
