anonymous · Answer

Im not 100% sure but I THINK Im supposed to make a smaller scale of it

amistre64 · Answer

not if you scale it by 3 ....

amistre64 · Answer

say we have a square of sides 2; whats the area?

anonymous · Answer

Im not entirely sure, but its too late to turn it in now anyway; its a zero now. Thanks for the effort anyway. I'll just do some extra credit to make it up

amistre64 · Answer

2x2 = 4

i we scale it by 3

2(3) x 2(3) = 36

4:36 is a ratio of 1:9

so our new object has an area that is 9 times larger than the original.

in general

the area of an object scaled by a factor of k,  will be k^2 in comparison
