    The side length is multiplied by the scale factor of 3, which makes it 49.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The scale factor goes as follows

    length : scale factor

    area: scale factor squared

    Volume : scale factor cubed

    Since we increased the area by 9, that would be the scale factor squared

    Take the square root of 9, which is 3, and that is the scale factor

    We want to know what happens to the length

    It is multiplied by the scale factor

    16.5*3 = 49.5
