Question

A square with an area of 4 in squared is dilated by a factor of 7. What is the area of the dialated square?

Answer 1

The area of the dilated square is 196

Explanation:

we know that whenever any figure is dilated by a factor 'b' units

so, area will be dilated by a^2 units

Here , we are given figure is dilated by 7 units

so, area will be dilated by 7^2

we are given

Area of square as 4

now, we can multiply by 7^2

and we will get area as

`A_n=4* 7^2`

`A_n=196`

So,

The area of the dilated square is 196
