Question

What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10? THE SURFACE AREA IS 432CM. LEGHT 12CM. WIDTH 6CM. HEIGHT 8CM

Answer 1

The scale factor for area is the square of the scale factor for linear dimensions. If linear dimensions are scaled up by a factor of 10, the area is scaled up by a factor of 10² = 100.

The area of the larger box is 100×432 cm² = 43,200 cm².
