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
times the area of the origina
l square.
The scale factor is 1.5, so the area of the scale drawing would be (1.5)^2 = 2.25 times the area of the original square.
Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 2.25 times the area of the original square.
