Bert wants to make a larger version of a drawing he saw in a

magazine. The drawing fits into a square with each side measuring
7 cm. If Bert makes his copy twice the size of the square measured
in the original drawing, how much space will it cover on the paper
he uses?

14*14 = 196 sq. cm.

To find out how much space the enlarged drawing will cover on the paper, we need to calculate the area of the square in the original drawing and then calculate the area of the enlarged square.

The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, the length of one side of the original square is 7 cm.

Area of the original square = 7 cm * 7 cm = 49 cm^2

Since Bert wants to make his copy twice the size of the original square, the length of each side of the enlarged square will be twice the length of the original square, which is 7 cm * 2 = 14 cm.

Area of the enlarged square = 14 cm * 14 cm = 196 cm^2

Therefore, the enlarged drawing will cover an area of 196 cm^2 on the paper Bert uses.
