Scott found the area of the shape to

be 30 square units. If he used a unit

square with longer sides, would his

area measurement be greater than

30 square units or less than 30 square

units? Explain.

So if we do this to the area of Scott's shape, the result will be less than 30 squares units.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a shape has "x" square units, it means that we can fit that number of squares with side length of one unit in that given shape. For the case where we change the unit, we are changing the length of the square's sides, if the new one has greater sides, then it means that the square is bigger, therefore for the same shape we will be able to fit less squares. So if we do this to the area of Scott's shape, the result will be less than 30 squares units.
