Question

Lin created a scaled copy of Triangle A with an area of 72 square units. How many times larger is the area of the scaled copy compared to that of Triangle A

Answer 1

Copy's area is 16 times bigger then triangle area.

Explanation:

Given:

Area of copy = 72 unit²

Find:

How bigger copy compared to triangle

Computation:

Area of triangle = [1/2][base][height]

Area of triangle = [1/2][3][3]

Area of triangle = 4.5 unit²

So.

Area of copy / Area of triangle

72 / 4.5

16

So,

Copy's area is 16 times bigger then triangle area.
