Question

Bryan is an art sculptor and is creating an art series made entirely of similar figures. He buys a Sponge Bob Square Pants figure and decides he wants to make a larger version that is 15 times bigger. If the area of the figure is 12.5 cm2, what is the area of his sculpture?

Answer 1

When scaling areas you need to remember the square the scale (as it it scaled in 2 Dimensions)

So 12.5 * 15^2 = 12.5 * 225 = 2812.5 cm2

Answer 2

12.5 Multipled by 15^2? Is that what you mean? @riccyscaduto

Answer 3

Yep, that's exactly what I mean, sorry about the ambiguity ..

Answer 4

It's fine thanks for the help:)
