Question

A square with a length of 14 cm is scaled up

to create an image, using a scale factor of 3.25.
What is the area of the image?

Answer 1

The area of the image is 2,070.25 cm^2

Explanation:

The first thing we do here is to scale up the square using the factor given.

Thus, for a length of 14 cm scaled up by 3.25, the new length becomes 14 * 3.25 = 45.5 cm

Mathematically, the area of the square is L^2

where L in this case is 45.5 cm

The area of the scaled up square would be 45.5 * 45.5 = 2,070.25 cm^2
