Scale factor definition speaking is when corresponding sides are proportional to each other (in a dilation). the proportion is a constant ratio which is known as the scale factor. for example, if side AB is 8, and side A’B’ is 4, the scale factor would be ½. if side AB is 3 and side A’B’ is 6, the scale factor is 2

A square has side length of 8 in. If the area is multiplied by 36, what happens to the side length? HELP PLEASE!!
GaryK [48]

Answer:

The side length is multiplied by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is A = s². Suppose the side is 8 inches. This means the area is A = 8² = 64.

If you were to multiply by 36, then it becomes 64*36 = 2,304. Since squaring gave the area, it's side length would be found using the reverse operation a square root. Take the square root of 2,304.

√2304 = 48

The side length changed from 8 to 48 which is a scale factor of 6. This means 8 * 6 = 48.

Find the difference.<br><br> 6rs – (-2rs)
lilavasa [31]
There is no difference, 6rs-(-2rs) if you get rid of the parenthesis you are left with 6rs- -2rs and two negatives make a positive therefore the answer will become 8rs... I hope this helps :)
