Question

The sides of a quadrilateral are 3, 4, 5, and 6. Find the length of the sides of a similar quadrilateral whose area is 9 times as great. Put your answer in the same order as the question.

terri - I've mentioned a couple times already that if the area is 9 times greater, then the sides are all 3 times greater.

the ratio of the area is the square of the ratio of the sides

take the four side lengths given and multiply them by 3.

feel free to ask for further clarification if you don't understand my answer.
