Question

The height of the rectangle is multiplied by 4. What is the effect on the area?

Answer 1

The new area is 4 times the original area

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

`A=bh`

where

b is the base

h is the height

If the height is multiplied by 4

then

the new area is equal to

`A=(b)(4h)`

`A=4bh`

therefore

The new area is 4 times the original area
