Answer:

Part A: The new area of Megan's room can be found by multiplying the previous area by 175%, which is equivalent to multiplying it by 1.75. The previous area of the room is the square of side four meters, which is 4 * 4 = 16 square meters.

To find the new area, we can multiply the previous area by 1.75:

New area = 16 * 1.75 = 28 square meters.

So, the expression that represents the new area of Megan's room is 28.

Part B: To find the increase in area, we need to subtract the previous area from the new area.

Increase in area = New area - Previous area

Increase in area = 28 - 16 = 12 square meters.

Therefore, the area of Megan's room has increased by 12 square meters.
