How does tripling the side lengths of a right triangle affects its area?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrej [43]2 years ago
6 0

Let x,y be the lengths of the original legs. The original area is thus

\dfrac{xy}{2}

Now, we triple the legs, so we have (x,y)\mapsto(3x,3y)

The new area is

\dfrac{(3x)(3y)}{2} = \dfrac{9xy}{2} = 9\dfrac{xy}{2}

which is 9 times the original area.

So, if you triple both legs, the area will be nine times as much as the original one.

Explain how the identity property in the problem, 2/3 (1) = 1 (2/3) = 2/3, is the same with any rational number. ANSWER FAST PLE
Morgarella [4.7K]
First of all, the identity property of multiplication (which is what this is I'm assuming) is that the number 1 multiplied by any other number is that number itself. (An example would be 2 multiplied by 1, which would be two) So in this problem, this rule applies too, since 2/3 multiplied by 1 would be 2/3!

Hope this helped :)
