A photocopier wants to enlarge a work by 120%. The original area is 10 inch^2. What would be the area of the enlarged copy?
Thanks.
10^2 = 10 * 10 = 100 square inches.
Find 120% (1.2) of 100 square inches by multiplying the two.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To find the area of the enlarged copy, you need to multiply the original area by the enlargement factor, which is 120% or 1.2 as a decimal.
The original area is 10 square inches, so you multiply it by 1.2:
10 square inches * 1.2 = 12 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the enlarged copy would be 12 square inches.
