What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10? give that the surface area is: 272 in 2. Length: 12 in 2 Width: 8 in 2 Height: 2 1/2 in 2

A for a box, the surface area is given by:

6l², where l is the length of one side.

If the side is increased 10 times,

6 (10l) ²

=100 x6l²

The surface area increases 100 times. Thus, the new surface area is

272 * 100

= 27,200 sq in
