Question

If the square below is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, what will be the area of the new square? 184 square units 188 square units 192 square units 196 square units

Answer 1

256square units

Explanation:

Since we are not given a diagram. Let us assume the side length of the given square is 8 units

If the the square is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, the side length of the new square will be 2 * 8 = 16units

Since area of a square = L²

Hence the area of the new square = 16²

area of the new square = 256 square units

Hence the area of the new square is 256square units

Note that the side length of the original square was assumed. The values can change depending on the side length of the original square before enlargement
