Question

M and N are equilateral triangles. The scale factor of M to N is 8 : 4.1 and the area of triangle M is 320 square inche. find the area of triangle N

Answer 1

84.05 square inches

Explanation:

Given;

Area of M = 320 square inches

Scale factor of M to N = 8 : 4.1

Since M and N are equilateral, it means all 3 sides in triangle M are equal and all 3 sides in triangle N are equal

To find the area of triangle N, we have:

`N = 320 * ((4.1)/(8))^2`

= 84.05 square inches

Therefore area of triangle N =

84.05 square inches

Answer 2

84.05 square inches

Explanation:

Given;

Area of N = 320×(4.1/8)^2 = 84.05 square inches
