A square has a side length of five. If another square is created by doubling the side length, what happens to the area of the dilated square?

A. The area of the dilated square is the same as the original square.
B. The area of the dilated square is 1/2 the size the original square.
C. The area of the dilated square is four times the size of the original square.

Respuesta :

Area of smaller square is 5×5=25cm^2
Side length of bigger square =5×2=10cm
Area of bigger square is 10×10=100cm^2
100÷25=4
so option c is correct
