Question

Each side length is doubled. What is the AREA of the new figure?

Answer 1

24 square units

Explanation:

When the sides are doubled, new figure so obtained will have:

Base (b) = 2*3 = 6 units

Height (h) = 2*4 = 8 units

Area of the figure when each sides are doubled

`= (1)/(2) * b * h \\ \\= (1)/(2) * 6 * 8 \\ \\ = 3 * 8 \\ \\ = 24 \: square \: unite`
