27 cm2
21 cm2
18 cm2

Answer 1

Answer:27 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation: we take both numbers(3,4) and multiply them by the scale factor of 1.5 giving you 4.5 and 6, then you find the area of the new colorado by multiplying 4.5 and 6 giving you 27 centimeters squared.

Answer 2

3*1.5=4.5 4*1.5=6 Area=6*4.5=27cm squared
