A student made a chart of squares with different side lengths. The chart compared the area in square inches and the side length in inches of each square. Each point on the graph represents a square.
Identify the scatter plot and the statement that best describes the relationship between side length and area.
A: A square's side length will not affect its area.
B: The area decreases as the side length increases
C: The area increases as the side length increases
The scatter plot represents the relationship between side length and area in squares.
The statement that best describes this relationship is:
C: The area increases as the side length increases.
