Each dimension of a parallelogram is multiplied by a positive number n . Write an expression for the area of the new parallelogram. Let b represent the base and h represent the height of the original parallelogram

The new area  will be n^2 times as much as the old

 

Proof :    new base  = n*b       new height  = n*h

 

So  ....  new area  /  old area  =    [  nb * nh] / [ bh ]  =  [n^2 * bh] / [bh]   = n^2 

 

 

cool cool cool
