The calculated area of the polygon Z is 99 square units

How to determine the area of the polygon Z

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Area of polygon Y = 11

Scale factor = 3

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

Area of polygon Z = Area of polygon Y * Scale factor²

Substitute the known values into the equation

Area of polygon Z = 11 * 3²

Evaluate

Area of polygon Z = 99

Hence, the area is 99 square units

Polygon Y has an area of 11 square units. Celia drew a scaled version of Polygon Y using a scale factor of 3 and labeled it Polygon Z

What is the area of Polygon Z?
