These figures are similar. The area of one is give. Find the area of the other.

64 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two figures are similar, therefore, the ratio of the area areas of both figures is proportional to the ratio of the square of the corresponding side lengths of both figures. This means:

Where x is the area of the other figure.

Solve for x

Cross multiply

Divide both sides by 100

Area of the other figure = 64 in²

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
