Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer 1

C. The area is increased by an area of 25

8x7=56
40x35=1400

1400/56=25

Answer 2

Consider what the area is when a rectangle has a width of 8m and a length of 7m. The area is 8m x 7m, or 56m^2.

Now, multiple the length and width by 5 each, to produce a triangle with the dimensions of 40m and 35m. Multiply the two values together to get 1400m^2.

1400 / 56 = 25, so the area is increased by a factor of 25.
