First, find the scale factor between the blue pentagon and the green pentagon:

35/28 = 5/4

The ratio of the areas is 5/4

Area of the blue pentagon / area of the green pentagon = (5/4)^2

Since the area of the blue pentagon is 1050 cm2

1050 / green area = (5/4)^2

Solve for the green area:

1050/ (5/4)^2 = Green area

672 = green area

Area of the green pentagon = 672 cm2
