The question is an illustration of equivalent ratios and similar triangles.
<em>The true option is: </em><em />
From the diagram, we have:
---- This is so because both lines are marked once
Also, we have:
---- This is so because both lines are marked twice
Divide both equations
Hence, the true option is:

Answer:
83.74 in squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the original rectangle is: 14 * 8 = 112 in squared.
The area of a circle is , where r is the radius. In this case, we know the diameter is 6, so the radius is 3. Then, the area of the circle is:
3.14 * 3^2 = 3.14 * 9 = 28.26 in squared.
The remaining area is just the total minus the circle area:
112 - 28.26 = 83.74 in squared
