15 times 3 squared

15 x 3^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square or rectangle is equal to the length x width.

If you want to scale the figure you multiply 3 to both the width and the length.

Because you are multiply 3 twice, you are essentially doing 3x3 = 9 or 3^2

15 ^ 3^2 is the answers.

You can also check on a calculator and it will also come as true

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490
