Answer:
The side length is multiplied by 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a square is A = s². Suppose the side is 8 inches. This means the area is A = 8² = 64.
If you were to multiply by 36, then it becomes 64*36 = 2,304. Since squaring gave the area, it's side length would be found using the reverse operation a square root. Take the square root of 2,304.
√2304 = 48
The side length changed from 8 to 48 which is a scale factor of 6. This means 8 * 6 = 48.
$300 because 300x2=600 then 75x8=300 and 600+300=900
