Example with numbers:
Y = X2
Y = (2)2
Y = 4
====
So if Y is ( directly ) proportional to X2 when X is doubled Y is increased four times.

Will the area of a square be doubled if you doubled the side legth of the square?
No, it will be quadrupled.
What happens to the area of a pentagon if the sides are doubled?
The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of lengths. Ratio lengths = 1 : 2 → ratio areas = 1² : 2² = 1 : 4 → if the lengths are doubled, the areas of quadrupled (multiplied by 4).
Is mulch that costs a set amount to cover a square foot proportional?
proportional
What happens to the area of a circle when the radius is doubled tripled?
The area increases as the square of the radius (or diameter). So if you double the radius you * 4 (quadruple) the area. Treble the radius, you *9 the area.
What perfect square times two equals sixty?
None. There is no perfect square that, when doubled, equals 60.
If y is inversely proportional to the square of x fully explain what happens when x is doubled?
if INVERSELY proportional then y = 1/X^2 ( that is, 1 divided by x squared) If X doubles then X SQUARED increases as 2 x 2 = 4 times SINCE Y = 1/x^2 then Y DECREASES 4 times
What happens to the area of a square when its side leangth is doubled?
four times the initial value
If A is proportional to B square and B is proportional to C Square then A is proportional to?
A is proportional to C4.
What happens to a rectangle if length is doubled and breadth is triple?
It becomes a bigger rectangle - possibly a square.
If the velocity of an object is doubled its kinetic energy is multiplied by?
since kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity it is multiplied by 2 x 2 which is 4
Will the area of a square be doubled if you doubled the side legth of the square?
No, it will be quadrupled.
Does amplitude determine the energy of a wave?

What the relationship between mass and the amount of gravity that pulls 2 object together?
The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.The gravity is proportional to both masses involved, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
What happens to the gravity as the distance between the objects is increased?
The size of the force decreases. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
How is the force of gravitational attraction affected if the distance between their center of mass is doubled?
Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Therefore, double the distance = 1/22 = 1/4 the force.
If the side of the square is doubled will the new area would be doubled?
the new area will be fourfold, not doubled. try it on squared paper and see how the shape increases from one square into four...
Why does a small increase in speed produce a large increase in kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is proportional to (depends upon) the square of the speed (velocity). If the speed is doubled then the KE is increased by a factor of 4 (2 squared).
