Question

Two similar figures have a side ratio of 3:4. The area of the larger figure is 100 square units. What is the area of the smaller figure?

Enter fractions as decimals.

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

the sides of the second figure are 4/3 bigger than the first

4/3 * 4/3 * 100 = 177.78 units^2

There are two sides involved in calculating area L x W

so you have to multiply by 4/3 TWICE
