The dimensions of a square are doubled. What happens to the area of the square?
A) The area triples.
B) The area doubles.
C) The area quadruples.
D) The area stays the same.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C) The area quadruples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the original side dimension is x. Then the area is x².

Now, we double the side dimension to 2x. Then the area is (2x)² = 4x², which is four times (quadruple) the original area.

Answer:

C) The area quadruples

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that the square's dimensions are 3, so then there would be two 3's, since it is doubled. Then area is all 4 sides of the square. So then 4 x 3. That would mean that the area would quadruple, since it's x4.+
