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

original square.

2.25

how u got that

To find the area of a square, you square the length of one side.

Let's assume the side length of the original square is 1 unit for simplicity.

The area of the original square = 1 * 1 = 1 square unit.

If Rowen uses a scale factor of 1.5 for the scale drawing, the side length of the scale drawing will be 1 * 1.5 = 1.5 units.

The area of the scale drawing square = 1.5 * 1.5 = 2.25 square units.

Comparing the areas, the area of the scale drawing is 2.25 times the area of the original square.

Therefore, the area of the scale drawing is 2.25.
