Asquare with an area of a2 is enlarged to a square with an area of 25a2. how was the side of the smaller square changed? the side length was increased by 5. the side length was multiplied by 5. the side length was increased by 10. the side length was multiplied by 10.

The side length was multiplied by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square =

We are given that the area of square is

So,

So, the side of original square is A.

Area of square =

Area of enlarged square =

So,

So, the side of enlarged square is 5A.

So, the side of the enlarged square is 5 times the side of the original square.

Thus Option B is true .

The side length was multiplied by 5.

a - base

b - exponent

so,
