What happens to the area of a square when the measurement of its side is doubled?

If a square has a side length of 4 centimetres, then its area is equal to 4 x 4 = 16cm2 (16 square centimetres).
If a square has a side length of 8 centimetres, then its area is equal to 8 x 8 = 64cm2 (64 square centimetres).
Therefore, by doubling the side length of a square, the squares area quadruples.

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 triangle when the base is doubled and the height remains the same?
The area gets doubled.
What happens if the base of a triangle is doubled?
If the altitude is not changed, the area would be doubled.
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.
If the height and the base of a triangle are doubled what happens to the area?
If the linear dimensions are doubled, the area is multiplied by (2)2 = 4 .
What happens to the area of a square when its side leangth is doubled?
four times the initial value
Will the area of a square be doubled if you doubled the side legth of the square?
No, it will be quadrupled.
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...
What happens to the area of a circle when its doubled?
When the diameter is doubled, perhaps? Then the area is 4 x larger.
What happens to the area of a triangle when the base is doubled and the height remains the same?
The area gets doubled.
What happens if the base of a triangle is doubled?
If the altitude is not changed, the area would be doubled.
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 happens to the area of a rectangle if one side is doubled?
Area = length*width new Area = 2 * length * width Area is doubled
Is there a country that is 50 square miles in diameter?
Square miles is a measurement of area. Diameter requires a distance measurement, not an area measurement.
What happens to force when area is doubled?
Force is not dependent upon area.
What happens to the area of the base of a rectangular prism when the base is doubled?
Refer to the question. It says the base is doubled! And when the dimensions of the base are doubled, the area is multiplied by 4.
If the height and the base of a triangle are doubled what happens to the area?
If the linear dimensions are doubled, the area is multiplied by (2)2 = 4 .
