Answer:

2926 cm²

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is 325 cm^2. What is the area of a rectangle in cm^2 with sides 3 times as large?

Step 1

A rectangle has both Length and Width

Let us assume the Length = Width

The area of a rectangle is 325 cm²

Area = Length × Width

325 cm² = L²

L = √325 cm²

L = 18.027756377 cm

Approximately = 18.03 cm = Widtdh

Step 2

What is the area of a rectangle in cm² with sides 3 times as large?

From Step 1

L = 18.03cm

3 times as large = 18.03 cm × 3

= 54.09 cm

The Area for this rectangle

= A = L²

A =( 54.09 cm)²

A= 2925.7281 cm²

Approximately = 2926 cm²
