The surface area is multiplied by a factor of 16

How to determine the factor of the surface area?

The dimensions are given as:

  • Base = 10 feet
  • Slant height = 15 feet
  • Factor, k = 4

The factor of the surface area is calculated as:

Surface area = Factor^2

So, we have:

Surface area = 4^2

Evaluate

Surface area = 16

Hence, the surface area is multiplied by a factor of 16
