The floor plan of a home is dilated by a factor of 8 to create a new, larger floor plan. The area of the new floor plan is (8, 16, 32, 64, 256) times larger than the area of the original floor plan?
Let x-----------> Initial length x of the floor plan y-----------> Initial length y of the floor plan A1-----------> initial area of the floor plan 1) A1= x*y
2) the floor plan of a home is dilated by a factor of 8 then x2=8x y2=8y
the new area A2=x2*y2 A2=(8x)*(8y)=64*x*y--------> 64*A1 A2=64*A1
the answer is The area of the new floor plan is 64 times larger than the area of the original floor plan
