Hi- So this is a simple question that I keep forgetting how to answer! HELPPPP

Ok so, The scale factor from Triangle A to Triangle B is 2, so Triangle B is 2 times bigger than Triangle A.
How much bigger is the area of Triangle B than the area of Triangle A?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 times bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The area of an object dilated by a scale factor (SF) will be equal to (SF)^2.

2. For example, let's say the base and height of Triangle A is 4 and 8. The area would be 16 units squared. The base and height of Triangle B would be 8 and 16. The area would be 64 units squared.

3. As you can see from the aforementioned example, the SF (2) was squared  and then multiplied by 16 to get 64.

Therefore, Triangle B's area is 4 times bigger than Triangle A's area.
