Question

Polygon H is a scaled copy of Polygon G using a scale factor of 1/4

​
Polygon H's area is what fraction of Polygon G's area?

Answer 1

`(1)/(16)`

Explanation:

Given figures are similar and the

scale factor = a : b, then

area ratio = a² : b²

Here scale factor = 1 : 4, thus

area ratio = 1² : 4² = 1 : 16 =
`(1)/(16)`
