Question

if you increase the height by a factor of 3, how much larger will the area be?
halved
doubled
increased by two units
tripled

Answer 1

use the formula A=lwh (im guessing that this is a rectangular prism)

Answer 2

Because you only increased one dimension by 3, the area will be tripled.

Answer 3

no its for a right triangle!

Answer 4

ahhhh okay, A=.5bh

Answer 5

make a triangle that has 1 for both dimensions A=.5(1)(1) A=.5
then triple the height A=.5(1)(3) A=1.5
1.5 is 3 times larger than .5 so the area is tripled
