Answer:

The side length is multiplied by \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the original square is equal to

A=9^{2}=81\ in^{2}

If the area is doubled

then

The area of the larger square is

A1=(2)81=162\ in^{2}

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of the larger square

y ---> the area of the original square

so

z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=162\ in\^{2}

y=81\ in\^{2}

z^{2}=\frac{162}{81}

z^{2}=2

z=\sqrt{2} ------> scale factor

therefore

The side length is multiplied by \sqrt{2}
