Question

Could someone please help me?

Answer 1

`\textit{area of the rectangle}\\\\ A=Lw \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ L=5\\ w=6 \end{cases}\implies A=(5)(6)\qquad \begin{cases} \textit{tripling the sides}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ L=3\cdot 5\\ w=3\cdot 6 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=(3\cdot 5)(3\cdot 6)\implies (3\cdot 3)(5)(6)\implies 9(5)(6)\leftarrow \begin{array}{llll} \textit{new area is 9 times}\\ \textit{the old one}\\ \textit{a ratio of 9 : 1} \end{array}`
