Respuesta :
Answer:factor of 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
prism were changed by a scale factor of 3
Suppose prism is rectangular in shape
So surface are is [tex]S.A.=2(lw+wb+lb)[/tex]
Where l=length
w=width
b=breadth
So new length,breadth and width is
[tex]l'=3l[/tex]
[tex]w'=3w[/tex]
[tex]b'=3b[/tex]
[tex]S.A.=2(3\times 3lw+3\times 3wb+3\times 3lb)[/tex]
[tex]S.A.=2\times 3^2(lw+wb+lb)[/tex]
[tex]S.A.=3^2\times 2(lw+wb+lb)[/tex]
So new surface area would change by a factor of 9
