Answer:

196 in/cm/m²

Explanation:

Given that the scale factor is a : b , then the area factor is a² : b² Here the scale factor is 1 : 7 , thus area scale factor is 1² : 7² = 1 : 49 That is the area of the dilated square is 49 times the original square. area of dilated square = 4 × 49 = 196 in/cm/m²
