Answer 7

then if you get confused, do an example
if something is \(3\times 3=9\) square feet, then since there are 3 feet in a yard, it would be \(1\times 1=1\)square yards

Answer 8

so the surface area stays the same but the measurement went from 9 to 1 i.e. it "decreased"

Answer 9

isn't it increase since 3 ft to 9ft^2
