Question

The sides of two similar polygons are in the ratio of 5 : 2. If the area of the smaller polygon is 576 ft2 , what is the area of the larger polygon?

I got 1,440 ft. Is this right?

Answer 1

No, 1440 is wrong. The correct answer is 3600

Explanation:

A =
`a^(2) / b^(2)`

{(5) / (2)} ^ (2) * 576

25 / 4 * 576

3600
