问题 If the length of each side of an equilateral triangle were increased by 50 percent, what would be the percent increase in the area?

选项 A、75%
B、100%
C、125%
D、150%
E、225%

答案C

解析 原等边三角形的三条边都扩大50%,即原三角形和新三角形的三边比均相等(SSS即边边边原则),所以原三角形和现三角形相似。二者相似比=1:1.5,则二者面积比=相似比的平方=(12):(1.52)=1:2.25,即新三角形是原三角形面积的225%,也就比原来增加了125%,故答案为C。
