Answer 1

Answer:

The original area would be multiplied by the scale factor of 2² to get the new area.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you double the radius lets so lets do an example

(a=πr²) so

if x is the radius the area would be x²π      

double the radius so 2x then the area would be

(2x)²π so 4x²π

4x²π/x²π= 4 so its 4 times greater or

D the last answer or The original area would be multiplied by the scale factor of 2² to get the new area.
