Answer:
The answer is actually 5.17 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to calculate the minimum thickness so you have to find the lowest bounds.
The covers are 0.9 mm to 1 d.p so the minimum thickness is 0.85 because that is the lowest bound.
The pages are 0.13 mm to 2 d.p so the minimum thickness is 0.125 as that is the lowest bound.
0.85 x 2 = 1.7 and 0.125 x 400 = 50
50 + 1.7 = 51.7 which is the minimum length.

Area is in square units.
Square the scale factor: 4^2 = 16
The area is 16 times the original area.
