16 times larger is the new area when compared to the original.

Given that, the length of each side of the square is quadrupled.

We need to find how many times larger is the new area when compared to the original.

<h3>What is the area of a square?</h3>

A square is a closed two-dimensional shape with four equal sides and four equal angles. The four sides of the square form the four angles at the vertices. The sum of the total length of the sides of a square is its perimeter, and the total space occupied by the shape is the area of the square. The formula to calculate the area of a square is a².

Let the length of each side of the square be x.

Then the length of each side of the new square will be 4x.

Now, the area of the original square = x²

The area of the new square = (4x)² = 16x²

So, the new square = 16 × the original square

Therefore, 16 times larger is the new area when compared to the original.

What is the area of a rectangle that has side lengths of 3/4 yard and 5/6 yard

Ahat [919]

We are asked to find the area of the rectangle that has side lengths of 3/4 yard and 5/6 yard.

We know that area of rectangle is width times length.

To find the area of the given rectangle we will multiply both side lengths as:

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Width}\times \text{Length}$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{3}{4}\text{ yard}\times\frac{5}{6}\text{ yard}$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{5}{6}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{5}{2}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{1\times5}{4\times2}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{5}{8}\text{ yard}^2$

Therefore, the area of the given rectangle would be $\frac{5}{8}$ square yards.

What is the area of the composite figure

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a composite figure, separate it into the regular parts which make the irregular shape. This shape is composed of a semi-circle and a rectangle. Find the area by finding the area of each shape.

Semi-circle:

The semi-circle has a diameter of 2 + 4 + 2 = 8. The area this figure uses the radius which is half the diameter. The radius is 4. To find the area substitute r = 4 into $\pi r^2 = \pi 4^2 = 16\pi$ . However the semi-circle has a smaller circle cut out of it with radius 2. The area of the smaller circle is $\pir^2 = \pi 2^2=4\pi$ . The semi circle in the shape is the areas subtracted which equals 12π.

Rectangle:

The area of the rectangle is found using A = b*h = 2*5 = 10.

The total area is 12π + 10 meters squared.
