Did you know?

Did you know that the scale factor can be used to determine the new areas of figures? By multiplying the original area by the scale factor, you can find the new area. For example, if the original area is 56 in² and the scale factor is 2, the new area would be 112 in². Give it a try with these figures: Original area = 22 in² Scale factor: 1.5 New area = 33 in² Original area = 25 in² Scale factor: 3 New area = 75 in² Original area = 15 in² Scale factor: 4 New area = 60 in² Original area = 35 in² Scale factor: 6 New area = 210 in² Original area = 18 in² Scale factor: 3.5 New area = 63 in² And here are the matching new areas for you to check: 240 in², 220.5 in², 224 in², 225 in², 49.5 in², 1260 in².
