8. the trapezoids are similar. the area of the smaller trapezoid is 131 m2. find the area of the larger trapezoid to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> corresponding side of the larger trapezoid

y----> corresponding side of the smaller trapezoid

we have

substitute

step 2

Find the area of the larger trapezoid

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z----> the scale factor

x----> area of the larger trapezoid

y----> area of the smaller trapezoid

we have

substitute
