When you triple the dimensions of a flat (2-dimensional) shape,
the area increases by (3)2 = 9 times.
When you triple the dimensions of a solid (3-dimensional) shape,
the volume increases by (3)3 = 27 times.

What is the area of 5.3in. 8in. 4in. And 8in. Divided by 2?
Too many dimensions have been given to work out an area which normally has only 2 dimensions.
Is the area of one triangle a rational number or an irrational number Explain.?
The area of a triangle can be a rational number or an irrational number depending on its dimensions.
What are the new dimensions if a picture that measures 12 cm by 18 cm is enlarged to 4 times its area?
The new dimensions can be any length and any width that multiply to make 864. If you want to keep the same aspect ratio (shape), then the new dimensions are 24cm by 36 cm .
What is the total area with a base of 10 centimeters and a height of 7 centimeters?
A triangle with base 10cm and height 7 cm will have half the area of a parallelogram with the same dimensions. Since you have not disclosed the shape, it is not possible to answer the question.
What happens to the area of a figure when the scale of the figure changes?
To find the new area, you have to multiply the original area by the square of the scale change. For example, you have a rectangle with adjacent sides of 3 and 4. Another rectangle has the same dimensions but with triple the scale. The original rectangle's area is 12. Multiply that by 9, which is the square of the new scale, and you get an area of 108. That matches up with the area of the new rectangle, which has adjacent sides of 12 and 9.
What happens to the area when you triple the dimensions to a parallelogram?
The area increases to 9 times as much.
What happens to the area of a shape when you enlarge it?
If all dimensions of the shape are increased then its area will also increase
What shape has a area of 4 units?
Any closed shape in 2-dimensions can have any area.
How do you find the dimensions of a shape if all you know is the area?
You cannot.
What information do you need to find the area of an object?
Its shape and dimensions
Finding dimensions of area of 190 in?
190 in is a length, not an area. Even if you were given an area, unless it was in the form of a regular shape you would not be able to determine its dimensions.
What would happen to the area of a triangle when both dimensions are doubled?
If both dimensions are doubled then the area is quadrupled. This is true of any geometric shape.
If all dimensions of a shape are tripled what is the area multiplied by?
It is multiplied by nine.
The dimensions of a rectangular solids are 8 Cm and 12 Cm can you tell what the surface area is?
the area of a 2D shape with dimensions 8cm and 12cm is 96cm2, but if you're talking about surface area of a 3D shape then you need the other dimension.
What is the area to 63?
To determine the area, we need more information such as the shape or dimensions of the object.
When you triple the dimensions of a figure how does this affect the area of the figure?
If you triple the length and width (or base and height) of a figure, you will be multiplying the factor of three by itself, so the area increases by 3 squared, or 9. So a figure with an area of 12 will have an area of 108 when you triple its dimensions. This holds true for circles as well, since radius squared is used for area, the 3 squared factor still applies.

Do a rectangle and a square have the same area?
Any plane shape can have the same area as any other plane shape if the dimensions are carefully selected
