Original area = 25 in¹ Scale factor: 3
240 in2
220.5 in²
224 in2
225 in2
49.5 in2
1260 in2
The correct answer is 225 in².
To find the new area after scaling up by a factor of 3, we need to square the scale factor (3² = 9) and then multiply it by the original area (25 in²).
New area = 9 * 25 in² = 225 in²
