4 inches²

144 inches²

0.64 inches²

Yes, the area of a square and the length of its side directly proportional quantities.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have to find the area of square by changing the lengths of a side. Given lengths are: 2, 12, 0.8. I will evaluate the area of each side and try to find out the relation between area and length of side.

First, we start with the smallest length (a=0.8 inches)

Area of a square is calculated by taking the square of single side (since both sides are equal).

Area of square = a²

Area of square = 0.8²

Area of square = 0.64 inches²

Area of square with smallest side length (a=0.8 inches) = 0.64 inches²

Secondly, we start with the 2nd highest length (a=2 inches)

Area of square = a²

Area of square = 2²

Area of square = 4 inches²

Area of square with second largest side length (a=2 inches) = 4 inches²

Thirdly, we start with the highest length (a=12 inches)

Area of square = a²

Area of square = 12²

Area of square = 144 inches²

Area of square with highest side length (a=12 inches) =144 inches²

As we can see, with the increase in the length of a side, area of square is also increasing. Therefore, yes the area of a square and the length of its side are directly proportional quantities as the area increases or decreases when the length of the side increases or decreases.

They are directly proportional quantities.

Step-by-step explanation:

DEFINITION

Two quantities are said to be directly proportional if an increase in one quantity lead to an increase in the other quantity.

Area of a Square = Length^2

Area of a Square of Length 2 inch = $2^2=4 \:square \:inch$

Area of a Square of Length 12 inch = $12^2=144 \:square \:inch$

Area of a Square of Length 0.8 inch = $0.8^2=0.64 \:square \:inch$

Arranging the sides and corresponding area in ascending order:

(0.8, 2, 12) = (0.64, 4, 144)

We notice that as the length increases, the area also increases.

Therefore, the area of a square and the length of its side are directly proportional quantities.
