Question

Polygon C has an area of 40 square units. Kennan drew a scaled version of Polygon C using a scale factor of \dfrac12 2 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction and labeled it Polygon D.

Answer 1

The answer is "
`10 \ units^2`"

Explanation:

Given:

`C= (1)/(2)\\\\A_C= 40\\\\A_D= ?\\`

The factor of scale (c) is the ratio of the two polygons, and the area ratio is the scale factor square.

Formula:

`(A_D)/(A_C) =C^2`

`A_D = (40)/(4)\\\\A_D= 10`
