Answer: The area of the Polygon D is 36 times larger than the area of the Polygon C.

Explanation:

The complete exercise is: "Polygon D is a scaled copy of Polygon C using a scale factor of 6. How many times larger is the area of Polygon D than the area Polygon C"?

In order to solve this problem it is important to analize the information provided in the exercise.

You know that the Polygon D was obtained by multiplying the lengths of the Polygon C by the scale factor of 6.

Then, you can identify that the Length scale factor used is:


Length\ scale\ factor=k=6

Now you have to find the Area scale factor.

Knowing that the Length scale factos is 6, you can say that the Area scale factor is:


Area \ scale\ factor=k^2=6^2

Finally, evaluating, you get that this is:


Area \ scale\ factor=36

Therefore, knowing the Area scale factor, you can determine that the area of the Polygon D is 36 times larger than the area of the Polygon C.
