Work out the area of the shape after it has been enlarged by scale factor 2. State the units of your answer

The area of the now-enlarged shape quadruples. The units are the same; square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the structure isn't provided. But, we can work on a generalized principle for enlargement or reduction.

When a shape is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, it means all of its lengths are increased according to that scale facfor (doubled).

Whatever the shape of the figure was, by enlarging it by a scale factor of 2, all of its dimensions become doubled, and as area is a product of dimensions, two dimensions to be precise, the Area of the object increases by a scale of 4.

For example, if the shape was a rectangle.

A = L × B

When enlarged, new L = 2L, new B = 2B

new Area = new L × new B = 2L × 2B = 4LB = 4 × old area.

A circle

A = πr²

When enlarged, new R = 2r

new Area = π(new R)² = π(2r)² = 4πr² = 4 × old area.

Whatever the original shape was, when it is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, the Area if the new enlarged shape is quadruple of the Area of the old shape.

Hope this Helps!!!
