How does the area of the scale drawing where 1 centimeter represents 10 miles compare to the area of a the drawing where 1 centimeter represents 30 miles? Area if 1 cm= 10 mi: square miles Area if 1 cm = 30 mi: square miles The area would be times as great.

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems rather obvious that ...

  (1 cm)^2 ⇒ (10 mi)^2 = 100 mi^2 . . . on the first drawing

  (1 cm)^2 ⇒ (30 mi)^2 = 900 mi^2 . . . on the second drawing

The area on the second drawing is 900/100 = 9 times as great.

These are the areas represented by 1 square cm on the scale drawing. If the drawing is larger, then the represented area is correspondingly larger. The ratio of represented areas is still 9 times for drawings of the same size.
