Mike's current restaurant measures 60 feet by 30 feet. Due to increase in the number of customers, he wants to rent a bigger restaurant. The dimensions of the bigger restaurant will be related by a scale factor of 2.

What is the difference in area between Mike's new restaurant and his current restaurant, in square feet?

The previous mike's restaurant area will be explain by

A = (60*30) 2 A=3600 sq feet

And the current mike's restaurant area will be explain by

A=[ (60*30) 2]2 the two after the brackets is the scale factor

Then A as the currant area is 7200

The difference between these areas A=7200 sq ft and A=3600 sq feet is 3600 sq ft. The correct answer is 3600 sq ft
