Question

If a shape has triple the dimensions of a similar shape then it has _______ the area *
1 point
double
triple
6 times
9 times

Answer 1

Answer:

9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to go about this is to give actual figures

Let us consider rectangular shape

Let us have a rectangle with dimensions 6 m by 12 m

The area will be 6 * 12 = 72 m^2

The shape having a similar dimension would have dimensions 12m by 36 m

So its area will be ;

18 * 36 = 648 m^2

So we finally proceed to make a division

Mathematically, that will be 648/72 = 9

So the area will be in the ratio of 1 to 9
