Question

IDK how to do this who else does

Answer 1

Answer:

36 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor means the side length are multiplied by some value.  Here, Jack takes 4 feet and multiplies it by a value of 1 1/2.  

The side length he wants is one and a half times the length of his neighbor's.  

The 'one' means the side length you started with, and the 'one half' means add half to the original length.

one and a half of four is six.  (4 plus half of 4, which is 2, so 4 plus 2)

The box is square, so each side is 6 ft, so the area of the box is 6x6 = 36 ft²
