Question

If the dimensions of a rectangle become one-fourth of the original dimensions, then area of the new rectangle will be _______of the area of the original rectangle.

Answer 1

one sixteenth

Answer 2

The formula is something like,

\[A = L^2\]

Answer 3

So,
\[A = (\frac{1}{4})^2\]

Answer 4

A=L*B
A'=(L/4)*(B/4)=(LB)/16=A/16

Answer 5

A = LW

A' = (L/4)*(W/4)

A' = (LW)/16


So the area of the new rectangle A' is 1/16 of the area of the original rectangle A

Answer 6
