Question

all sides of the square are 6 cm if he wants to enlarge the box by a scale factor of 1.6 what will the perimeter and area of the shape be?

Answer 1

The sides of the square is 6 cm with a scale factor of 1.6
So the actual size will be
= 6 * 1.6
= 9.6 cm

Getting the area:
Area = s^2
Area = 9.6^2
Area = 92.16 square centimeters

Getting the perimeter:
Perimeter = 4*s
Perimeter = 4 * 9.6
Perimeter = 38.4 cm
