The scale factor for two similar rectangles is 3 if the area of the smaller rectangle is 8 m^2 what is the area of the larger rectangle
24 m^2
192 m^2
72 m^2
108 m^2
72 m^2
If the scale factor is 3, then the length and width of the larger rectangle are each 3 times that of the smaller rectangle. Since the area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width, the area of the larger rectangle will be 3 * 3 * 8 = 72 m^2.
