Question

Polygon \[D\] is a scaled copy of Polygon \[C\] using a scale factor of \[6\]. How many times as large is the area of Polygon \[D\] compared to the area Polygon \[C\]?

Answer 1

If Polygon [D] is a scaled copy of Polygon [C] using a scale factor of 6, then the area of Polygon [D] will be 6^2 = 36 times larger than the area of Polygon [C].

This is because the area of a polygon is proportional to the square of the scale factor when the shape is scaled uniformly.

Therefore, the area of Polygon [D] is 36 times larger than the area of Polygon [C].
