The polygons are similar. The area of one polygon is given. Find the area of the other polygon.
3 cm
12 cm
A-96 cm?
Answer:
Hello! answer: area is 6 cm2
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle area formula: base × height ÷ 2 or base × height × 1/2 so...
12 × 16 = 192 192 ÷ 2 = 96
12 ÷ 4 = 3
16 ÷ 4 = 4
3 × 4 = 12 12 ÷ 2 = 6 therefore the area is 6 hope that helps!
Answer:
6 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sides of 2 similar figures in the ratio a : b , then
ratio of areas = a² : b²
Here the ratio of sides = 3 : 12 = 1 : 4
ratio of areas = 1² : 4² = 1 : 16
That is the area of the larger polygon is 16 times the smaller, so
area of smaller polygon = 96 ÷ 16 = 6 cm²
