Problema Solution

rectangle is 3 times length of corresponding side of small rectangle. how does area of large rectangle compare with area of small rectangle

Answer provided by our tutors

let


l = the length of the small rectangle

w = the width of the small rectangle

A1 = l*w the area of the small rectangle


3l = the length of the large rectangle

3w = the width of the large rectangle

A2 = 3l*3w

A2 = 9lw the area of the large rectangle


A2 = 9*A1


the area of the large rectangle is 9 times bigger then the area of the small rectangle.
