Question 15

State if the statement is true or false

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

Answer 1

False

Area of old square = $\left(side\right)\times \left(side\right)=(side{)}^2$

Side length of new square is doubled = $2\left(side\right)$

Area of new square = $\left[2\right(side)\times 2(side\left)\right]$

Area of new square = $4(side{)}^2$

Area becomes four times.
