The correct answer is C.
Area of a square = side times side.
Let X be the side of a square. Then, the side of the square is \(X^2\).
If a side of a square is increased by \(20\%\), then the area of the square will be increased by 44 percent:
\(1.2X × 1.2X = 1.44X^2\)
\(1.44X^2\) is 0.44 or \(44\%\) bigger than \(X^2\)The Best Books to Ace Algebra
