if 1 square has 3 times the perimeter of another square, how much larger is it's area
Let's say square 1 has sides of x perimeter of 4x Area = x * x = x^2
Square 2 has sides of 3x perimeter of 12 x Area = 3x *3x = 9x^2 NINE times bigger for having 3x perimeter
Well you might need an example, let's say that the first square's area is 1, so the perimeter is 4. So the other square's perimeter is 12, so it's area is 9, so the square's area is nine times larger the the other square's area.
