Effect on change on the area

Question

if the length of a rectangle is divided by 3 and the width is multiplied 6 what is the effect of the change on the area

Answer 1

A₁ = LW

A₂ = (L/3)(6W)

A₂ = 2LW

Answer 2

The original formula for area of a rectangle is: A = L * W

Length of a Rectangle is Divided by 3

New Length: L / 3

Width of a Rectangle is Multiplied by 6

New Width: W * 6

Therefore, the new formula for the area would be:

Area = (Length / 3) (Width * 6)

Using this formula you can simplify 'divided by 3' and 'multiplied by 6' to multiplied by 2

Because 6/3 = 2

Therefore, the final area will be Length * Width * 2

Compared to the Original Area Formula, the Final Area Formula is multiplied by 2

So, the effect of change on the area would be multiplied by 2
