answer is 9
The area would be 9 times compared to the area of the original square. To test this, you can let the side of the original square be equal 1. By tripling this side, the side becomes three. Utilizing the area of a square formula, A= s^2, the area of the original square would be 1 after substituting 1 for s. Then, you do the same for the area of the tripled square. With the substitution, the area of the tripled square would be 9. This result displays the area of the tripled square being 9 times as large as the area of the original square. This pattern can be used for other measurements of the square such as:
let s = 2, Original Area= 2^2 = 4 Tripled Area= (2(3))^2 = 6^2= 36. 36/4 = 9
let s = 3, Original Area = 3^2 = 9 Tripled Area - (3(3))^2 = 9^2 =81. 81/9 = 9
let s = 4, Original Area = 4^2 = 16 Tripled Area - (4(3))^2 = 12^2 = 144. 144/16 = 9
let s = 5, Original Area = 5^2 = 25 Tripled Area - (5(3))^2 = 15^2 = 225. 225/25 = 9
let s = 6, Original Area = 6^2 = 36 Tripled Area - (6(3))^2 = 18^2 = 324. 324/36 = 9
let s = 7, Original Area = 7^2 = 49 Tripled Area - (7(3))^2 = 21^2 = 2,401. 2,401/49 = 9
You can continue to increase the length of the square and follow this pattern and it will be consistent.

If the side of a square is tripped how many times will it area be, as compared to the area of the original square?
If the side of a square is tripled then the area would be increased 9 times assuming the goal is to keep the shape a square. Meaning if one side is tripled then all sides are tripled and all corners remain 90 degrees. X being the original length, then 3x is the tripled length. The area of a square is base times height. Where all sides are the same then the area of a square is x squared. Kinda how that term came about. So tripling one side triples all sides. So x times thee times x times three . So x squared times nine is the area of a square who’s side
If the side of a square is tripled, how many times will it’s area be as compared to the area of the original square?
Your question is a little tricky because of the phrase “the side”. Saying “the” side makes it sound like the square has only one when it really has four. It makes it a little difficult to divine your intent, i.e. did you intend for just one side to be tripled in which case the resulting figure would be a rectangle or did you intend for the final figure to still be a square in which case both dimensions would have to be tripled?
In the former case, the area would change by just a factor of 3. In the later, it would change by a factor of 9 as others have
x = square side
x^2 = original area
(3x)^2 = area of square with tripled sides
(3x)^2 / x^2 = 9 - divide the new area with the original one to see how many times larger it is.
The area will be nine times larger.
