Question
Rowen uses a scale factor of 1.5 to make a scale drawing of a square. How does the area of the scale drawing compare to that of the original square? Write your answer in decimal form.(1 point)
The area of the scale drawing is 2.25 times larger than that of the original square.
This can be calculated by squaring the scale factor, which is 1.5, to get 2.25.
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 2.25 times larger than the area of the original square.
