Polygon D is a scaled copy of Polygon C using a scale factor of 6. How

1.	Polygon D is a scaled copy of Polygon C using a scale factor of 6. How many times larger is the area of Polygon D than the area Polygon C?
Answer» The answer is 36 You simply SQUARE the linear scale FACTOR 6 and we GET 6^2 = 66 = 36 You can think of a square with sides of 2 by 2, so the area is 4 If you multiply each dimension by 6, then the square is now 12 by 12 and the new area is 144. Notice how 144/4 = 36, or put another way 364 = 144

Answer»

The answer is 36

You simply SQUARE the linear scale FACTOR 6 and we GET 6^2 = 6*6 = 36

You can think of a square with sides of 2 by 2, so the area is 4

If you multiply each dimension by 6, then the square is now 12 by 12 and the new area is 144. Notice how 144/4 = 36, or put another way 36*4 = 144
