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
Question
