Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

The polygons are similar. The area of one polygon is given. Find the area of the other polygon​

Answer 1

Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²

Explanation:

Area of the bigger polygon : Area of the smaller polygon = square of the side length of the bigger polygon : square of the corresponding side length of the smaller polygon

Let "x" represent the area of the smaller polygon

Thus, we have:

100/x = 20²/4²

100/x = 400/16

100/x = 25

Cross multiply

25x = 100

Divide both sides by 25

25x/25 = 100/25

x = 4

Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²
