16 times larger is the new area when compared to the original.
Given that, the length of each side of the square is quadrupled.
We need to find how many times larger is the new area when compared to the original.
<h3>What is the area of a square?</h3>
A square is a closed two-dimensional shape with four equal sides and four equal angles. The four sides of the square form the four angles at the vertices. The sum of the total length of the sides of a square is its perimeter, and the total space occupied by the shape is the area of the square. The formula to calculate the area of a square is a².
Let the length of each side of the square be x.
Then the length of each side of the new square will be 4x.
Now, the area of the original square = x²
The area of the new square = (4x)² = 16x²
So, the new square = 16 × the original square
Therefore, 16 times larger is the new area when compared to the original.
