The dimensions of a plane are increased by a factor of M. That is all dimensions are M times bigger. How has the area increased in terms of M?

@CaptainJackson
Is it area X M?

What sort of plane? A 747?

Maths question.
An increase in the dimensions of a 3D shape by a factor of Z Will increase the surface area by what factor?

That's all there is to the question

Z squared

Not z cubed?

Cube

2 (length) x 2 (width) x 6 (sides) = 24

Scale of 2

4 (length) x 4 (width) x 6 (sides) = 96

96 ÷ 24 = 4 = 2 sqaured

The dimensions of a plane are increased by a factor of M. That is all dimensions are M times bigger. How has the area increased in terms of M?

@CaptainJackson

Define plane.

Actually forget that. Plane is 2 dimensional terminology (I'm rusty with mathematical terms)

3 (length) x 3 (width) = 9

Increase by scale of 3

9 (length) x 9 (width) = 81

81 ÷ 9 = 9 (ratio)

9 (ratio) ÷ 3 (scale) = 3

Again 3 squared

Or M squared as per your question

You guys are speaking a foreign language to me tbh.

Got a bit curious when I seen the thread title.........................wish I hadn’t

Of course the title could be "Mathematics Question" but in Australia it's more common to see "Maths Question", but if were in America it would be "Math Question", and if we were in Blacktown then it would be "Meth Question"
