Question

Area of a square is doubled if the side of the square is doubled.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

The area of a square of side length 'a' units is $a\times a=a^2$
When the side of the square is doubled, the length of the side becomes '2a'

The area of the new square with side length '2a' = $2a\times 2a=4a^2$
Thus, the area of the new square = 4 x Area of the original square
Hence, the given statement is false.
