Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

an area is always calculated by multiplying 2 dimensions.

when changing the dimensions, then the change factors for EACH dimension go into the calculation too.

therefore, when both dimensions of an area are enlarged 4 times, then the area is enlarged 4×4 = 16 times.

this just propagates to the whole surface area of an object, as each individual area of the overall surface area is enlarged by the same factor. and so, the sum of all the individual areas (= altogether the surface area of the object) is also enlarged in total by the same factor.

just think

16×a + 16×b + 16×c ... = 16×(a+b+c+...)

5 divided into 290 show work

Archy [21]

How many times does 5 go into 29? It can go into it 5 times which equals 25. Now what's 29 - 25? 4 is the answer then you see how many times can 5 go into 4, well it can't so then you bring the number 0 to make it 40. Now how many times can 5 go into 40? It can go into 40 eight times since 8x5=40 so the answer is 58
